netbsd 2.1 and openbsd 3.8 both seem to hang  as their respective inits 
are being started during bootup. If -no-kqemu switch is used then they 
boot up fine. freebsd 6.0 doesnt seem to have this problem.

But for both net and openbsd, it seems to be at that point where bootup 
is switching from kernel mode to user mode.
