[afnog] FreeBSD incomplete boot problem

[antonio at nambu.uem.mz]

It wouldn't be a problem if the services already started, but since 
only postfix starts and none of the rc.d scripts start then you have 
to go physically to the server and press ctrl-c for the rest to load, 
that's what I am trying to avoid so that everytime the machine is 
rebooted due to several reasons like power outages, I need to go 
physically there and press ctrl-c.
