Are you saying boot -v will affect or display extra shutdown
messages? I couldn't find a man page for the boot command.

Apologies if I'm being dense, but I don't see an opportunity
to invoke boot -v manually after invoking shutdown -r.

Typically I type shutdown -r, the system may or may not
emit the ertt message, but keeps going to emit the
"Resetting system ..." message. At that time the system
either reboots normally, or becomes unresponsive to the
serial console. If it reboots, the red power LED turns
on, the green LED flashes briefly, the disk LED starts
flashing and the red LED turns off as boot progresses.

If the boot gets stuck the red LED remains off, given
enough time the disk LED turns off. At that point power
cycling seems to be the only way out. 

The fact that the system emits a "Resetting system"
message suggests the complaint about ertt isn't fatal.

Thanks for reading!
