Yes, I have a box here which behaves the same. However, booting to
single user from the loader prompt works fine. Unfortunatly I have
no idea, what causes this behaviour and how to fix it :(

As a work-around I added "options ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER" to my kernel, so
I can reboot using serial console using "CR ~ ^r" (and don't have to call
my Provider ;)

Best Regards,
Oliver
