Hi,
I had following situation:
Someone suddenly cut the power of a FreeBSD 5.3 PC, leaving the /usr
filesystem in a very broken state. During next bootup, there was indeed
the message telling 'not properly unmounted', but boot continued with
background fsck after 60 seconds; although I

This scared me. What if /usr was such broken that even single user mode
would hang!?!
That won't happen, since /usr isn't mounted in single user mode.

Even if it were, there are always Live BSD CDROMs which should allow you
to boot and then fsck your disk

However, the main user of this particular PC is not at all a guru; on 4.10
I had rc.conf configured such that at bootup all filesystems would be
automatically fixed with: fsck_y_enable=YES.
With 4.10, this always worked nicely, whatever sudden power cut

If the system ends with a bad filesystem, the background check may

Is it possible to set up FreeBSD to do a clean shutdown upon a pressing
