I apologize for the lack of information, here is what i discovered:
qmail starts from:
/usr/local/etc/rd.c/qmail.sh (which is a link to /var/qmail/rc) as
follows:
#/var/qmail/rc
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start "`cat /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery`"
I removed the link, so it does not start from there. I added this
line in /etc/rc.conf:
csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
Now it no longer hangs on Local initialization package: Local 0/10
Remote 0/20
(I had to press ctrl-c to break out).
It still doesn't shutdown properly (bear in mind I am new to both unix
and qmail):
shutting down daemon processes: alert: cannot start qmail-send, process
already running
I figure I need somekind of shutdown script for it, since the
rc.shutdown seems
to try running csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &' again. Can you help me out?
thank you
Steven

Nobody can point you in the right direction if you have no other
information.
It's not at all clear what your problem is or why you even think you
have one.
"local 0/10 remote 0/20" is a type of log entry that you'll see
frequently. It
means that at the moment there are zero local deliveries and zero remote
delveries in progress. It's completely normal; you'll see a line of this
type
in your logs after each delivery is completed.
