Hi,

When shutting down the FreeBSD-machine I get:
*** syncing disks... done
***
*** The operating system has halted.
*** Please press any key to reboot.

But... sometimes after syncing disks... I get three numbers. What do these mean?

But.. more serious.. sometimes the system hangs just after the messages:
*** host halt: halted by root (3 times)
*** host: syslogd: exiting on signal 15 (also 3 times)

I do not get the message about syncing disks. When I turn the power off and 
on the filesystems are clean, so the shutting down is performed (isn't it?). 
But does someone know why the system hangs (sometimes).
