Hi,

I've a main Solaris 8 NIS server that until recently was running fine,
but it hadn't been rebooted in several months. It lost power, and when
I recovered it I found it freezes on boot-up.

I was able to get into single user mode, and add a set -x to the
inetinit script. As the machine normally boots it runs inetinit and
during that script the "route" command is run to add the default
gateway. This is where apparently the machine halts.

If I remove defaultrouter, then on boot the machine does come all the
way up. I can access the server from the same subnet, but not from
others (obviously). If I then manually run the route command, it halts
that telnet session (I'm not able to CTRL-C out). The "route" binary
looks ok, FILE tells me its a sparc binary. I also think all the lib
files required are ok too.

A colleague of mine thinks the route program is waiting on the network
to respond with something that its not getting. But all of the NIS
clients use the same gateway and they all boot-up fine.
Any idea how I can diagnose this more? Or what might be going on?
