SuSE's quite proven in writing crooked bootscripts.

Your problem is long known: (why still unfixed ?)
The bootscript tries to log into the database, which now requires a
password in your configuration. Of course psql is prompting for it,
but you problably dont see it.

You'll have to rewrite the pgsql boot script.

Maybe you'd like to move away from GNU/Windows .. ;-P
