FreeBSD al3170ss.lab.opnet.com 8.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE #0: Fri Aug 19 11:48:26 PDT 2011     jtoung at focus8.networkphysics.com:/u1/builds/8.5.1/ALKernel.jt/src/sys/amd64/compile/NPBAB8  amd64

>Description:
The line "stop_boot true" in /etc/rc.d/mountcritlocal is incorrect.  checkvars will complain that $true not set correctly.

It should look more like:

STOP=true
stop_boot STOP


>How-To-Repeat:
Corrupt a local file system such that it will not mount ( some fun here ) and reboot the system.  When mountcritlocal tries to stop the start up, a message will be displayed stating that $true is invalid and one should check the man page for rc.conf



>Fix:
Change 

stop_boot true

to

STOP=true
stop_boot STOP
