I installed snv_30 on a x4100 and noticed that the boot process was very slow.  
I narrowed it down to net-physical and stuck a bunch of 'date' commands in the 
execution path.  The slowness happens at line 157 in the original 
/lib/svc/method/net-physical.  Here is the snippet of the 
/etc/svc/volatile/network-physical:default.log

Can anyone provide guidance on what I should be checking to see why the 
ifconfig command is so slow?

Thanks!
