Thanks Valeri - I do like your thinking:

I am not running X; (as far as I know)

I agree! it must have gone into multiuser state, perhaps.
But wouldn't this suggest passing the 'init / getty' stage? This was a
confusing area as I was thinking of perhaps a problem with
/usr/libexec/getty and the ttys*

I have tried forcing it into singleuser mode, option 2 on the startup splash
screen I think, with little success.

But I do not have anything in loader.conf so everything should be running in
default mode. This is a clean install, just about a week or two old and in
the throes of rebuilding.

"bad memory could also cause a reboot" - That's why I checked my capacitors
/ hardware etc. If it was faulty memory wouldn't that me manifested also in
running from the livefs?
can I install /sysutils/memstat from the ports while using livefs?

Will take another look if anything X related is running.
