I always thought the nature for a FreeBSD system was to be up and
running.
Therefor pleasing the user to reboot was the right thing to do...

What comes next?
- single user prompt telling on how to rw mount '/'?
- turning motd faq/handbook advice into blinking letters?
- sysinstall to blocking install until the (l)user explicitly
  states to have read the handbook?
