Hi All

I am currently running FreeBSD 2.2.1 and am shutting down using the
"shutdown now" command as directed in the handbook.

When I power back on again I am told that "/" was not unmounted
properley and all the flags on my disk are dirty.

How should I be shutting down to power off?

Cheers
Jay
