I hit the reset button, and it rebooted, but then it hung again just before it would have gone multi-user. I eventually managed to trace the problem down to "lpd". If I disabled "lpd", the system came up fine. When I started "lpd" by hand after the system had gone multi-user, it hung again. I noticed that my printer (an Epson Stylus Pro attached via ppc0/nlpt0 (0x378, irq7, W83877AF chipset, EPP/PS2/NIBBLE, COMPATIBLE mode) was out of paper and offline. I corrected this problem, and the problem went away. >How-To-Repeat: Take the printer offline, then reboot and watch the system hang just as it's finishing its multi-user startup. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
