Hi,

I've installed FreeBSD on one of the machines here. Everything was
fine till last week. When I rebooted the system the login screen on
that machine did not appear. I can do a remote login or telnet to that
machine from any other machine, but the login screen on that machine
does not appear.
When I reboot the machine, everything is fine till it says:

starting local daemons

Thanks
sushma.
