FreeBSD 2.0 - configuring SLIP
Without my service providers nameserver in my /etc/resolv.conf I have to telnet
with IP addresses. With it in, it works fine, but during bootup when it runs startnet
it says "starting network" then stops for a few minutes, then says "writing to routing
socket: Network is unreachable" then a couple lines later "starting network daemons:
portmap routed printer sendmail" then hangs for a minute, then " inetd"

Any ideas on how to stop these delays during boot?
