Okay, another piece to the puzzle: I wondered why I'm the only one
complaining and digged somewhat further into it. The "problem" on my
machine is 'keybell="visual"' in /etc/rc.conf. With it the probability
for shutdown(8) and / or init(8) deadlocking is nearly 100%. Without it
I wasn't able to reproduce it once in 20 reboots. This gives a way to
more or less reliable reproduce the problem.
1. Set 'keybell="visual"'
2. service syscons onestart
3. shutdown -r now
So far I haven't tested vt(4), nor if the VESA mode of syscons has any
effect on the probability.
