Pressing F2 in bootsplash while shutting down

[newbie_gentoo]

Hello.
Usually, when I pressed F2 during the bootplash at shutdown, I could se the termination of services and lots of [ok]'s. Now, when I press F2, I am taken to a console, prompting for a login. The computer shuts down normally, though.

Can anyone help me to solve this? I know it must sound kind of cosmetic, mas it is handy to see if there is anything wrong at shutdown.

Thanks for reading

Try to "shutdown now" out of the first terminal, does pressing F2 help in this situartion?
Sometime the "[ok]'s" are displayed on an other consohle, try to switch between and find the right!

Sorry for the delay of this post.

Well, during shutdown I tried consoles from F1 to F6 but the shutdown-text wasn't in any of them. Any more ideas, please?

Thanks
