[afnog] FreeBSD incomplete boot problem

[sematin at mtn.co.ug]

Have you installed any cutom rc scripts of your own to start particular
services? Perhaps these scripts do not exit properly and thus keep the system
waiting for them to finish executing when they are actually through.

Check all your scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d for exit codes. You could even
try running them manually one by one and see which one does not return your
prompt back when you run it. I doubt they are that many so this should be
possible.
