	Sorry. I forgot the output of ifconfig -a:

ed2: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
        ether 00:20:78:14:25:03 


	I'm pretty sure it hangs exactly after these lines.  _no_
	idea what happened.

	The only change slightly related is that on sage.thought.org,
	my network board is ``ed1'' and no longer ``ed2''; this 
	happened after I installed 3.2 on my second box.  sage.thought.org
	still boots without hangs.  

	I've grepped for any reference to 10.0.0.2 here and see none.
	Maybe that's the problem... (?)

	No NFS mounts yet; I'm working toward this.

	Here is the network part of rc.conf:


### Basic network options: ###
hostname="tao.thought.org"      # Set this!  (changed 24may98)
nisdomainname="NO"              # Set to NIS domain if using NIS (or NO).
firewall_enable="NO"            # Set to YES to enable firewall functionality
firewall_type="UNKNOWN"         # Firewall type (see /etc/rc.firewall)
firewall_quiet="NO"             # Set to YES to suppress rule display
tcp_extensions="YES"            # Allow RFC1323 & RFC1644 extensions (or NO).
#
ifconfig_tun0="inet 207.108.223.55 207.108.223.19 netmask 0xffffff00"
########################
# ed2 configuration  for  tao
########################
# 
# (18may99) 
#
network_interfaces="lo0 ed2"
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1"
ifconfig_ed2="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"

	
	And /etc/fstab:


/dev/sd0s1a                     /               ufs     rw 1 1
/dev/sd0s1b                     none            swap    sw 0 0
/dev/sd0s1f                     /var            ufs     rw 1 1
/dev/sd0s1g                     /tmp            ufs     rw 1 1
/dev/sd1c                       /home           ufs     rw 1 1
/dev/sd2s1b                     none            swap    sw 0 0
/dev/sd2s2e                     /usr            ufs     rw 1 1
proc                            /proc           procfs  rw 0 0
#/dev/cd0a                       /cdrom          cd9660  ro 0 0


	No mods to /etc/rc.network.  

	The last change to /etc/rc.conf was 18may99 and I have
	rebooted since then once or twice.  Successfully.  

	Another bizarre thing was that when I used adduser on
	Monday, it screwed up my passwd file.  Besides this,
	I haven't touched /etc for weeks.

	Ideas?  --Besides evil spirits, that is, :-)

	thanks,

	gary
