I used to see this exactly... I could get around it by setting a break in
the null process and single stepping it until the rc script was running.

I always chalked it up to the fact I was running the CPU at only 10Mhz
(nver have had time to debug it), but the problem went away after I rebuilt
the kernel from source (a scary proposition given how hard it was to
boot up under the best circumstances)!
