Yep, that seems to be the issue. I got
it to work finally by commenting out this
one line from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald:
#start_cmd="hald_start"
In particular, this allows hald to startup
in the regular sequence without that
odd delay.

CCing marcus@; maybe he can explain why that delay
was put in and whether ripping it back out makes sense.
