I have just rebuilt world and kernel according to the Handbook, installed the new kernel, rebooted, logged in, issued "sudo shutdown now" - the machine entered single user mode, then immediately exited without any intervention by me and continued to boot into multiuser mode. Here is a snippet from /var/log/messages: Dec 30 17:41:15 iguana rc.shutdown: 30 second watchdog timeout expired. Shutdown terminated. Dec 30 17:41:15 iguana init: /bin/sh on /etc/rc.shutdown terminated abnormally, going to single user mode Dec 30 17:41:15 iguana syslogd: exiting on signal 15 <--- Dec 30 17:41:28 iguana syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel <--- This seems to be happening every time in response to "shutdown now". However, I can cold boot this machine into single user mode with nothing unusual. This is FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE amd64, rebuilt on 12/26/2011 I guess I may have unintentionally changed a config file? Where should I look? -- Janos Dohanics
