Re: repeated failure to properly shutdown



I see what you're saying, did it (and do have a console device), but now my etc/defaults/rc.d is barfing on: cannot create /dev/null: read only file system

It is created by init if there is no /dev/console.

Boot some install media, mount your root file system (say on /mnt)
then:

        cd /mnt/dev
        sh MAKEDEV all

(hoping there is a MAKEDEV script there, if not: extract it from etc.tgz
from the install sets)

Then reboot and check mount again.
