Question - should I be using init to change runlevels or is there a better way 
of doing this?

This has been happening for a long time and definitely before openrc. I usually 
reboot to avoid the hang ups.

You should be using the rc command tho init should work in theory. Example, "rc single" or "rc default" or whatever runlevel you want to switch to. That is without the quotes tho.

I did notice earlier that when I switch to single, it is not unmounting some file systems for some reason. When I try to switch back to default, rc sort of pukes. If I unmount everything first, it switches cleanly. I think openrc has some . . . weirdness still.

You can check out the rc man page for more info.  That help any?
