>Description:
Machine configured with NIS server/client and UserMode PPP (for PPPoE).
Startup hangs when PPP is started during boot. Problem also apparent
in earlier versions.
>How-To-Repeat:
Configure machine to use NIS and Usermode PPP on startup.

and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/pppoe.html
>Fix:
in /etc/rc.network where usermode ppp is started:
su -m ${ppp_user} -c "exec ${ppp_command}"
'su' is hanging as NIS has not yet been started. NIS needs to be
started prior to any use of 'su' in rc files.
