 I've re-run the test, and confirmed that syslogd is the culprit.
 
 I modified /etc/rc.d/syslogd to print "Finished." at the end of the
 script.  Here's the rc.log excerpt:
 
 ...
 [running /etc/rc.d/sysdb]
 Building databases: dev, utmp, utmpx.
 [running /etc/rc.d/newsyslog]
 [running /etc/rc.d/wscons]
 [running /etc/rc.d/syslogd]
 Starting syslogd.
 Could not open /dev/crypto: Device not configured
 Finished.

 [running /etc/rc.d/ypbind]
 [running /etc/rc.d/yppasswdd]
 [running /etc/rc.d/mountall]
 Mounting all file systems...

 It is unclear to me why it tries to access /dev/crypto ...
