+ The wait_for_pids() function in rc.subr, used by rc scripts
+ when stopping or restarting a service, has been modified to
+ use pwait(1)'s new -r option, which requires kernel support.
+ When upgrading across this change, you should install a new
+ kernel first, then reboot, then install a new world, run
+ etcupdate, and reboot again. Otherwise, you may find that
+ rc.subr is unable to stop services because the running kernel
+ does not provide the support that the updated pwait(1) needs.
+ Alternatively, if you deem it safe, you may use fastboot(8) to
+ reboot without shutting down services first.
