What is strange is that after line 3 the computer suddenly stops for a long time, almost a minute, doing (as far as I know) nothing!
Add your system hostname to /etc/hosts. Alternatively ensure that DNS resolves properly on your box. If you just want to skip the whole thing, then press Ctrl+C when the box hangs up.... or seems to hang up.
I have added my hostname, and it didn't change anything. Maybe my DNS name is something else than what I think. I'll look into it.
Why would adding the hostname work? What is it that's fooling around with my hostname at this point in the boot process?
