oh ok, thanks good thing I saw this before I got to long in this
process. I backed up the /etc/rc.d directory and started re-ordering
things like this:
000netif
001netoptions
002routing
003network_ipv6
004ppp
005ipfw
006defaultroute
007routed
008mrouted
009route6d
0010mroute6d
011named
012resolv
013hostname
014hostapd
015hostid
016hostid_save
017rpcbind
018nfsclient
019nfscbd
020nfsdrpcbind
021mountd
022mountcritlocal
023mountcritremote
024mountlate
I realized there may be dependencies but I was gonna give it a try and
see if I got it right. If not I would restore from backup.
Actually this machine isn't on DHCP, it's statically assigned. My
basic goal is to get the box to the point where it can resolve DNS
before it mounts the contents of /etc/fstab...
do you have any suggestions on how best to achieve this goal?
thanks
