Some make take a while to start up (over a minute depending on the package, and the hardware you're running) Do a reboot at some point and give it some time (at least 5 or 10 minutes) to see if something is taking a long time to start, or timing out on some operation at startup. Find out what packages you have installed that may be causing the trouble. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
