- No, but mfs is the only fs so far that uses a REAL disklabel.. the
- scsi-based filesystems all use virtual disklabels, that I compose
- out of the information from the RDBs.

- The only daemon (or rather, demon, in in this case?:-)) you have to
- comment out is named. Or, as an alternative, what I do here, add two
- lines to the named.boot file:
-
- forwarders aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
- slave
-
- (replace the aaa... thing with the address of a host you're connecting
- to with slip/ppp, or use a phantasy-number if you don't do any network
- connections). This way, the named needs only one attempt at finding out
- that there is no network, the normal way, it would try to connect
- to all listed root servers before timing out, thus leading to the
- "locked up" system. Anyway, the easiest way to get rid of the problem
- is to comment the starting of named out.
