System: NetBSD kerry.i8u.org 2.99.11 NetBSD 2.99.11 (KERRY) #31: Sat Dec 25 11:10:28 PST 2004 htodd@kerry.i8u.org:/usr/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile.i386/KERRY i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
The environment is incorrect for the bug. My 2.99.11 kernel will boot but my 2.99.12 kernel will not. Depending on the system, the boot halts with different rc scripts. The recent changes include /etc/rc.d/fixsb, /etc/rc.d/ipfilter and the inclusion of rc.d scripts from pkgsrc.

Note: the 2.99.12 kernel WILL BOOT if rc_fast_and_loose is enabled.

	
>How-To-Repeat:
I use the following rc.conf:

# Load the defaults in from /etc/defaults/rc.conf (if it's readable).
# These can be overridden below.
#
if [ -r /etc/defaults/rc.conf ]; then
	. /etc/defaults/rc.conf
fi

# If this is not set to YES, the system will drop into single-user mode.
#
rc_configured=YES

# Add local overrides below

>Fix:
	Use an older kernel, or set rc_fast_and_loose=YES.

	I haven't checked to see if the second option will hang the system.
