[afnog] FreeBSD incomplete boot problem

[antonio at nambu.uem.mz]

Hi,

I have removed the vm-pop3.sh script and the same still happens. 
infact I have removed all scripts and it still happens... I don't know what 
else to try... It will not start any of the scripts that I leave behind. It 
simply seems to stop before it starts loading the rc scripts. I just don't 
see what it is trying to load or do. Maybe a bug in the autoboot? My 
system is FreeBSD 5.0 Release.

Cheers,
