If I am quick enough with "Ctrl + Alt + Backspace" or
"Ctrl + Alt + Del" (or ssh from another machine) I can at least get it to reboot without a fsck on startup. Unfortunately, if I am too slow it hangs indefinitely. I have had to just power it off several times now and of course it then complains about / not being unmounted properly etc. etc.


Yes, this probably contributes to some of my problems earlier but when I was running make buildworld from single user mode it still crashed and despite all the help I have gotten here I still have not managed to capture a crash dump.

So, I am running 5.3-STABLE (from yesterday) and all my ports/packages are up to date and if I forget I cant switch to a terminal while I experiment with fluxbox or KDE I will always lock up the machine.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
