>Description:
I'm trying to do an unattended install of FreeBSD 5.2.1.  If I don't                                                        
include the 'shutdown' command at the end of the install.cfg file, the                                                      
install works fine, but I have to manually reboot the machine after the                                                     
install, which is no good for an unattended install.                                                                        
                                                                                                                            
If I do include 'shutdown', then it appears that the disk does not unmount                                                  
properly before the reboot.  The console displays "syncing                                                                  
disks, buffers remaining".  Normally I would expect a few                                                                   
numbers to be printed, followed by a reboot a second later. This what                                                       
happens if the reboot is performed manually from the sysinstall menu.                                                       
                                                                                                                            
But when the reboot is performed automatically, after "syncing disks"  it                                                   
says: "WARNING - WRITE_DMA interrupt was seen but timeout fired LBA" and                                                    
then prints the same number (e.g. 161) over and over again for several                                                      
lines.  After about 5 seconds the system reboots, but the new installation                                                  
has errors on the filesystem and requires me to manually run fsck. This is                                                  
no good for an unattended installation.

Hello, I had this issue with 5.2.1 as well, but as of 5.3 this had 
been resolved for me. Can you please check whether this is still 
accurate for recent FreeBSD Versions? Thanks!
