It turns out my problem was actually the umount that follows it.
I've slowly debugged the rc to see what was and wasn't working (syslogd
cored on me, NOT nice!) and I've commented out things that I didn't think
I needed, etc. HOWEVER, its gotten to the point of :
# build ps databases
echo 'building databases...'
kvm_mkdb /netbsd
dev_mkdb
And its stuck. The little light in the back says that its working
ok, but it hasn't gone anywhere else.......
What is this, and do I need it?
