Unfortunately, sometimes something goes wrong and nothing
realizes. I have always advocated being able the tune the chattiness
of booting. If I had a system (under Solaris <10) that was hanging on
boot (or more frequently on shutdown) I would add a bunch of echos to
the scripts /sbin/rc0, /sbin/rc2, etc. Then I could clearly see what
was hanging.
I would love SMF to support a boot (and shutdown) option to
tell me what services it is trying to start/stop/restart to the
console so I can find the one that misbehaves (and doesn't know it).
