I'm obliged to use single user mode because the boot is stopping and i
can't do anything when it try to run Postfix.

I use truss -p and i see somme errors :

poll(0x08046F64, 1, 3600000) Err#91 ERESTART
...
open("/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/WET", 0_RDONLY) Err#2 ENOENT
...
open("/var/run/syslog_door", 0_RDONLY) Err#2 ENOENT
...
... fatal: watchdog timeout
sigsuspend(0x08046C4C) Err#4 EINTR

The first error seems to be a socket error but i don't know if it's very
important.
I don't understand the two others because i can read the files and with
"ls -al" i can see :
-rw-r--r-- 1 root bin ... /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/WET
Drw-r--r-- 1 root other ... /var/run/syslog_door

The third one should be a consequence.

does someone have some informations ?
