Last time I tested on S10, boot doesn't hang just because the nameservice isn't available. The single-user login certainly wouldn't due to that alone. (The single-user password prompt is given without even trying to start name services.) Is it possible that the root account doesn't appear in /etc/shadow or /etc/passwd? You can "boot -m milestone=none" to take SMF totally out of the picture. All that does is start up sulogin, and no services. liane
