Working on updating a amd64 box from 7.0 to 7.1. A shell script called from rc.local hung. (Still don't know why, works fine in 7.0, works fine in 7.1 executed manually once system is up.) Tried ^C, ^\, ^P and nearly every other key on the keyboard. They echo, but nothing will interrupt the hung process. I had to press the reset button. Back in the day, typing ^C on the console would interrupt the boot process and give you a shell prompt. How do I interrupt the boot process with FreeBSD? Is there a way to have getty start before running rc.local?
