As mentioned, those tools above were missing, so I wasn't able to shutdown/reboot from the desktop environment. I then tried to read the runit man page which gave absolutely no clue how to reboot the system in a controlled manner. As a next step, I did a hard-reset. The system tried to boot but didn't offer any gettys or anything which would allow me to login. At this point I gave up. Imho, runit(-init) is not ready yet to be listed as a functional alternative.
