Ok, then verify that you have "Kxx-processname" files in
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d.  Note that the system will use those scripts in ASCII
sort order, e.g. K00 will be run before K01, K10 will be run before K11,
etc.  That should shut down most of your running processes--note that
syslogd is NOT shut down via that process and that's most likely where
the "/var busy" message comes from

When that's all done, the system essentially does a "kill -9" for all
other user processes.  That will definitely kill syslogd.  Regardless,
your system should shut down (or reboot) cleanly.
