ODD NVIDIA GUI booting problem.

[Jim Martin]

As recommended by Ricardo

I modified /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit 

with the following change

echo -n $"Initializing hardware... "

ide=""
scsi=""
network=""
audio=""
other="nvidia"  

and it works great!

this is work-a-round for sure, but it is one that works.
