It shouldn't be finding your filesystem unclean unless you're powering off or resetting the machine without shutting it down completely fist, but in any case, this isn't what's causing the hang... The hang is most likely occuring because, after the filesystem checks, the system configures your network devices and is likely hanging because it can't resolve any hostnames and/or perhaps because it doesn't have the correct setting for the ethernet media type. Do you have an ethernet card in the machine, and if so, what type is it? Try typing one or two ctrl-C's when it has hung...this will kill off the hanging ifconfig command. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
