I am experiencing a similar problem. Mine isn't during boot, however, because my iface is set to no auto. When I 'ifup eth0' or 'eth1' it hangs after:
bound to 192.168.1.67 -- renewal in 300 seconds. If I wait long enough, it closes itself. However, if I jsut close the terminal, the ip address was apparenlty bound. I had assumed this was a bug in the dhcp client. Interesting...
