Did I miss something on the /dev/random hang?
I don't know...
During a `shutdown -r now`, the boot process hangs for more than an
hour. I thought this was supposed to work. However, jwd's receipe
for recovery works. I repeated this three times, although I only
waited an hour the last
I cannot make mergemaster work. Tried twice earlier in the year and
took several hours to recover... Don't know what my problem is.
However, I have a script that compares and lists diffs in /etc/rc* and
/etc/defaults/* to those in src/etc. Normally, I manually copy those
files to /etc.

It does look like an updating entry is needed for this badly.
I did the following things, some of which may not be needed, and now my
-current boxes boot OK.
1. update MAKEDEV from /usr/src/etc, run MAKEDEV all
2. update /etc/rc /etc/rc.* /etc/defaults/rc.conf from /usr/src/etc

You can leave them in, with option "noauto", and mount them later with

You need to put
random_load="YES"
into /boot/loader.conf.
Optionally, you can load random.ko during the boot process.

Are you using MFS ? I suppose you are not.
I've found that:

filesystem. Interrupting with CTRL-C works (and system goes to
single user mode).

Exactly. Except not just after make world/kernel, every time you
want to reboot/halt.
Does this make any different?

shutdown is fine, but ctrl-alt-del is not so good,
whenever I did this, the next boot takes a long time on
fixing filesystems.
You mean your system doesn't unmount the disks at ctrl-alt-del?
Does it a hard reset instead?
