Hi

	I have a server that stalls during bootup for about 5 minutes. It shows 

Starting sshd

and then stalls, If I press Ctrl C to cancel whatever it is that is stalling, 
it shows

^CInitial i386 initialization

and then continues to boot up.

I know it isnt sshd that is stalling because even after cancelling sshd is 
running. 
What is Initial i386 initialization? I have looked through rc.conf and there 
is nothing being started by that name.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

David
