Confirmed. Obvious error and boot problem fixed. Further testing under way.

2.3.3-DEVELOPMENT (amd64) built on Mon Sep 26 09:29:52 CDT 2016 works.

Yup same here.

I think this whole boot process needs to get whole lot more robust/failsafe. You have /etc/rc.bootup script and almost the entire boot process is plopped into loads of function calls in that one script. When the script crashed somewhere at the top of the calls stack (as happens to be the case with the OpenVPN setup), it rendered the system very much useless.
So, the core of the issue doesn't seem to be resolved at all, can happen anytime again, with amount of breakage depending on how early in the script it happens.

The core of this issue was the OpenSSL library problem that has been fixed. There is a separate issue where certain processes crashing can cause failures of the boot script as a whole, but it's not directly related. PHP itself was also crashing out, but neither PHP nor OpenVPN are crashing now like they were when the original problem happened.
It would be great if the process was a lot more robust, with exception handling everywhere to ensure errors are trapped and handled gracefully. That's a much larger task though, not one we're likely to see even in 2.4 at this point.
