IMO: There is not enough info to conclude this. It is not obvious which shell is used to execute start.sh (linux shell or FreeBSD shell). To determine this we need to see the first line of the script. I would expect a FreeBSD one is started and I would suggest to try a linux one instead. Did you see any messages on the console (run "dmesg" after a failed start and have a look for unusual output). I would also suggest to have "set -x" as the second line in the script, this will give you a trace what is executed. The output needs to be reviewed then to analyze what is going on. After a suspicious action is tracked down, this action can maybe started within ktrace and the linux_kdump port can then be used to further investigate what is going on.
