mysql50-server install slow

[Randy Bush]

i386 6-current as of yesterday

mysql50-server install got to the following point

install  -o root -g wheel -m 444 postinstall /usr/local/share/mysql/postinstall
 install  -o root -g wheel -m 444 preinstall /usr/local/share/mysql/preinstall

/usr/local/bin/mysql_install_db --ldata=/var/db/mysql
Installing all prepared tables

and has been there for over an hour.  i think it's fair to call
this slow :-).  i suspect other words, such as 'broken' could
be applied.

relevant processes are

might be mysql port, might be 6-current, might be pilot error.
i doubt the latter, as i never make mistakes :-).
