Thanks to
henriont@datrep.scott.af.mil (Tim Henrion)
Ray Trzaska <rtrzaska@uk.mdis.com>

for the lightning quick responses!

The problem was that someone had changed the the remote
mounts without updating the vfstab.
Commenting out the entries allowed the machine to boot as normal.

Is it normal for the boot process on sol2.5.1 to halt if nfs machines aren't
found?

Thanks again!
