youre only getting to single-user. probably if it is a fresh install, 
that you havent edited /etc/rc.conf yet. the quick way to get it to stop
stopping itself in the middle of booting up and dropping to single-user 
is to just change the rc_configured (or soemthing like it) to be set to YES
in there, it tests for it.
