Lonnie -- "it just seems to "hang"" is a bit too imprecise to make a good starting point. So I'll just take a wild shot at it -- might you have left in /etc/exports an entry for a hostname or IP address that is now unresolvable? If so, that would introduce a 3-minute delay at the point where you say the system "hangs".
More generally, do the Mandrake systems *ever* resume init'ing? Operationally, "ever" means wait about 5 minutes before deciding that they are completely blocked. Then see if a ^C will cause boot/init to resume. If you can get the boot/init sequence to complete, do the logs report anything interesting? Whatever is going on, your LEAF router is extremely unlikely to be involved (unless you need access to an off-LAN nameserver that you now cannot reach, or unless you were exporting to off-LAN hosts).
