starts the network too.  Seeing the list of services it started, it
didn't miss many.
Did it start as part of "Hey, there is a network card, lets use it"?

I believe the default configuration auto-starts network devices if any are
found.

There is something not right here.  It appears that openrc or whatever
is not working the way it should.  The funniest part about this, it
worked fine the other day and it works just fine from a console.  It
just doesn't work right when passed from grub.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Try disabling auto-starting services? :)

It's been a while since I rebooted. Built a new kernel so here we go again. Round two.

Disabled that, still started the network and a WHOLE lot of other things. This is what is in the nonetwork runlevel:

root@fireball / # ls -al /etc/runlevels/nonetwork/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  72 Nov 17  2010 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 200 May 10 18:19 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  17 Dec  9 05:12 local -> /etc/init.d/local
root@fireball / #

I'm going to create a runlevel myself and let it mirror the boot runlevel. Let's see what that does. I'll post results here shortly.
