I will try!

I tried telnetting into the box and then perfoming a couple of 
operations (remote login seems to be stabler than the console, which 
freezes).

Some additional info:
I tried manually "openbsd-inetd stop" and it stopped without hanging

I then did "poweroff &" and checked with "ps -a" where it was haning
I noticed that almost with any script in init.d called with "stop" it 
did hang. I then killed that process and it continued to the next, nutil 
it came to filesystem where everything did hang. That is it looks that 
it is not just one hanging...

I should try perhaps just booting an shuttingo down, to see how a clean 
system works.

what should I do with "set -x" ? Please explain further...
