 Is MacBSD using the "ttyflags" command? I am not sure how far off 
 you all are from the Amiga and other ports, but this is something
 I came to associate approximately one system build ago with that
 particular command. 

 In general, any output to console stderr would freeze the machines
 after a few tries. The problem went away when I was careful to make
 sure TERM and PATH were set coming out of single user.

  Is there in fact an "adduser" in any of these ports? I have not seen
 one in any rev I have yet worked with. You should make sure that 
 /usr/share is mounted, TERM and PATH are configured, and exported
 and then run "vipw" to add a user.
