As a matter of observation I notice the booting process pauses when
/e/n/i uses
auto etho
iface eth0 inet dhcp
It may only be for 2 or 3 seconds while dhclient does what it has to do
and outputs its actions to the screen, but it can be longer. Without a
network cable attached there is a 60 second delay before booting
continues.
Substitute 'allow-hotplug' for 'auto' and there is no pausing at all and
dhclient gets on with its job in the background.
