Hi, thanks for your reply.  I wasn't discussing the difference between 
'shutdown now' and 'shutdown -r now'; my concern was it appears that the 
fbsd handbook section I was reading, with regards to "REBUILDING WORLD", 
instructed the reader to do a 'shutdown now' instead of a proper 
'shutdown -r now', which in turn caused me grief when attempting to run 
'fsck -p'.

Once again I thank you for your reply.
