The console log doesn't show the application boot errors I was looking for. With regard to the original problem, it turns out postgresql wasn't starting for the same reason as cups, the startup script is being passed a faststart argument that it doesn't understand. As soon as I figure out how, I'll update the postgresql port which I assume will fix this. -- Ken Stevenson Allen-Myland Inc.
