Using procstat -kk I found it appeared to be stuck in a loop inside a posix_fadvise syscall. I could not ^C or ^Z the initdb process. I could kill it but a subsequent attempt to rm -rf the /usr/local/pgsql/data directory also got stuck and was unkillable by any means. Rebooting allowed me to remove the directory but the initdb process still hung when I re-ran it.

Rebooted with a WITNESS kernel and got the following LOR after initdb started:
