It does not boot properly. The filesystem is mounted read-only.

Manually entering the command "mount -a" will fix the problem until the next boot (although openrc still segfaults on reboot).

By the way, installing kFreeBSD jessie at this point is tricky because of other bugs.
* The beta installer CD has multiple bugs that are mentioned in the release notes.
* dist-upgrading from wheezy will remove the old kernel without installing a replacement (#756464), so you need to manually install kfreebsd-image-10 or 
else the systrm will fail to boot.
* apt in jessie is extremely slow, but apt in experimental is ok

It's OK to reduce the severity, expecially since this bug only affects kFreeBSD, not Linux. Could you do it for me?
