Ok, it does work: the "File exists" messages disappeared, but the
slowed-down still remains.
My rc files are unmodified. I only enabled named in startnet and added
"xdm" as the last command of rc.local.

For example, the delay between the running of xdm and the graphic login
prompt is more than a minute, and during this delay the HD isn't operative.
How can I solve this problem?
I say again that this appear only if /etc/resolv.conf exists.
