This is why a reboot before installworld is a *good* idea. It has little
to do with running installworld multi-user.
It is *possible* to let the boot sequence complete all the way and then
run installworld multiuser, *most* of the time it will work but another reboot
would be wise after mergemaster to make sure that the running daemons and the
config files are consistent (POLA).
