Subject: 386BSD wont go multi-user

Well, I've just done a manual install of 386BSD, with 16MB swap space,
and I've hit a wall of sorts;  the system refuses to go to multiuser
mode (ie: /etc/rc doesn't even get run) unless I manually start
syslogd.  I get a standard single-user mode startup instead.

Strangely enough, once I start syslogd, /etc/rc begins executing
_immediately_, with no user intervention.

Any ideas, anyone?
