Your first idea was right! > I had /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh script hanging around from old version of mysql. This script did not go into the background during boot.

That is, by fooling around with /usr/local/etc/rc.d it is possible to prevent init from going multiuser. Is it possible to implement some anti-foot-shooting technique? I mean if script was not started in some timeframe just kill it and go on to the next one? I have no idea. Its a little outside the scope of what I'm interested in. You might try proposing something like this in a more general mailing list (freebsd-arch, freebsd-hackers).. > Thanks again for your help! You're welcome.
