Actually the question should have been is it tye ttyflags line, or the
line before?

We had a problem recently where the fsck on the line before the ttyflags
would cause the system to hang AFTER the "ttyflags" message was printed.

Put a "sleep(10)" before the ttyflags command to see if this is it.

Take care,
