I wasn't discussing the difference between 'shutdown now' and 'shutdown -r now'; my concern was it appears that the fbsd handbook section I was reading, with regards to "REBUILDING WORLD", instructed the reader to do a 'shutdown now' instead of a proper 'shutdown -r now', which in turn caused me grief when attempting to run 'fsck -p'. Once again I thank you for your reply.
