Hi,
I have 4 FreeBSD systems, and all boot very fast, except for my DNS.
The startup process hangs for about 2 min. after the following messages:
1. after the interface de0 is defined and configured w/ its IP-paramameters
delay for 2min. after displaying 'ether 00:dd:xxxx'
2. after the message: 'starting routed.'
I was able to fix this once, but I can't figure out how I did it. What
could cause a delay at these points?
The system comes up fine, and starts all daemons eventually, but w/
this long delay it is too long compared to my other systems.
Any help would be great.
Regards, Ulf
