On reboot, ssh-keygen fails to make RSA keys because in rc.network there is no -t rsa option when running ssh-keygen. ***I changed it*** and all is well. This is likely to come up on the questions and security list for those that did a cvsup at about the same time I did.  I'm sure its been discovered and fixed by now.

You told it to generate the wrong key. ssh_host_key should hold a
protocol 1 key,

  /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -N "" -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
                            ^

And yes, this has been fixed in RELENG_4.
