Hi, I realized that my initial patch is incorrect although it worked. By default the halt service is not added to runlevel «off » but that original patch requires user to add service "halt" to runlevel "off" ... my bad.
I re-patched sysvinit package, I think this patch is way much better. And since it detects the existence of /sbin/openrc, it should not break the original sysv-rc functionality. tested on freebsd-amd64.
