It doesn't have to be run. However, also check /var/log/message and anywhere else you might have some juicy logs.

The install went on without a hitch but,
booting up, I reach the end of the init sequence and there's a delay
of 22 seconds before "Starting local ..." transitions in to the
usual "This is .." and the login prompt.
The first thing I would do is have a look at /etc/conf.d/local.start. The "Starting local" text comes from /etc/init.d/local which executes any startup scripts in /etc/conf.d/local.start.

Keith,
Thanks for the reply!
I see that I managed above to report the contents (or the lack thereof) in
/etc/conf.d/local.start as /etc/conf.d/start.local. Sorry about that little
reporting error. In truth, there are no entries in my
/etc/conf.d/local.start, just the standard, commented-out boilerplate which
leaves me without ideas of anykind as to a solution. There's literally
nothing blocking the way to the login that I'm aware of. Talk about
flummoxed.

Perhaps a few steps for sanity:
1. Remove, as Alec suggests, local from init.d. Test this.
2. I assume your /etc/init.d/local dependencies are set to "after *".
3. Check your /etc/inittab for anything suspicious. Refer to dmesg (as Alex suggests ;) ).
It is possible that there is a strange problem with the DM scripts, the getty you are using, or possibly PAM. None of those seem likely though.
