First of all, by the time the 'Modula-3' pops up, it usually means
that the package has already been initialized properly (not the most
helpful way to do things, I know). To be sure, check
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/3<something> (I cannt remember the name of the
Modula startup file, but I think it starts with a 3) and see at what
point in the startup the message is printed.

Assuming that Modula-3 is starting alright, your problem probably lies
with whatever is starting next in the boot process. Are there other
*.sh files in /usr/local/etc/rc.d?
