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).
