I've noticed that my FreeBSD boxes tend to boot slowly on occasion.
The problem begins when FreeBSD is adding routes from netstart.

On the ep0 (or ed0) entry, the default route and the multicast route 
the system informs me that it is adding the route entries, but the 
entry seems to take an unreasonable amount of time (~5 minutes!).

Anyone had this problem? Comments on the cause/solution?
