Oooh I didn't realise that either, the serial console only shows the
kernel output.  I saw the nodev errors which are triggered from
mountkernfs.sh, but forgot that those messages were actually coming from
the kernel.

Yes it still happens in single user mode, on 8.3 or 9.0 kernels.  And in
fact, the filesystem doesn't have to be marked dirty -- I managed to
trigger this just by creating a /forcefsck file:

I tried setting kFreeBSD.init_path to a shell but as mentioned on the
FAQ that doesn't work:
