One system booting last night shows many processes called 'wait'
with a PPID of 0. I've never seen this before. I think something
in the /etc/inittab hung and the other parts of /etc/inittab are
waiting for this hung thing to finish before it complets processing.
How do I figure out what is hung?

'wait' is just cpu idle time. nothing wrong with that.
