At a guess, you've set it up to not automatically trust local users, so
the default options which 'wait' for the server to come up (and "waits"
by having psql try connecting as the postgres user) waits for a long long
time for somebody to give it the password it now requires.
I find that rather annoying, and miss it every time, until the rc script
hangs. Check the options and figure out which one it is you have to take
out, I can't recall offhand.
