My Pentium 120 running FreeBSD 3.1 "crashed" yesterday, running on hardware that up to now has been very reliable. Symptoms were: 1) No keyboard input accepted to KDE, but the display was still running, and showing two xclocks, both running, one on a network-connected machine, one local. 2) Hitting ctrl-alt-F2 brought up a login prompt, but it wouldn't respond to the return key. 3) It could be pinged from the other machine, but would not accept telnet or ftp logins, in much the same way as the attempt to login from another tty. So I had to reset it, and let fsck do its thing. What else could I have tried to shut it down properly, please? I have seen this kind of problem before, but can't reproduce it.
