Boot hangs on "Setting default IPv4 interface"

Hi,

We had not one but two power outages last night, during which
my Ultra 10 went down. Now, when I try to power it up, the boot
process hangs at the stage after it says "Setting default IPv4
interface for multicast." I've tried powering off again,
disconnecting the network and power cables, and then letting
the box sit for several minutes before reconnecting the cables
and attempting another boot.

My box is an Ultra 10 running SunOS 5.8. Everything seems to
initialize correctly, until it gets to the point where it says
"WARNING: asppd has bee superseded; see pppd(1m). After that,
I get two "NIS domainname is <domainname>" messages, both of
which state the same domain name. Then the rpc services seem to
start fine: "starting rpc services: rpcbind keyserv done." Next
the netmask for hme0 is set correctly. Then the "Setting default
IPv4 interface for multicast: add net 224.0/4: gateway <hostname>"
message comes, after which the system hangs.

Any clues about how to fix this?

Thanks in advance,

Scott
