They are running too many rc scripts before dropping you into single
user.  I had to fight against this after installing their
``well-tested'' driver upgrade 3 recently, at which point the machine
has been kicked off early during the `S' level initialization.  (The
`drvinit' program turned out to be the culprit, it is run by some
rcS.d script, but luckily, it's not actually needed at all. :)
