I'm still learning about "halt" and so on.  There are several options 
for halt that I have used; they cut down on the errors but DO NOT 
stop the system altogether:

-f   Don't do a shutdown(8) - force halt or reboot
-n   Don't do a sync
-d   Don't write wtmp record (implied by -n).... trying to write wtmp 
is what caused most of the errors
-i   Shutdown all network interfaces first
-p   When halting the system, do a power off - this is what happens 
when it is called as /sbin/poweroff

Here is the actual call:

/sbin/poweroff -idfn

Ideal would be to get:

System is halted.
--press any key to reboot--

But I'd settle for:

System is halted.

<and system total lockup>
