Configuring syscon: keymap blanktime problem

During boot Configuring syscon: keymap blanktime problem it takes time in this time.Why?
What is syscon?
 
sc(4) is the system console. The delay is probably not in it, but in what's trying to run immediately after that message. A long delay on startup, usually for sshd or sendmail, indicates that DNS is trying to resolve the hostname and, failing that, timing out.

I commented ssh_enable="YES" though.
How can i get rid of that delay?

Fix your DNS. Adding a hostname entry to /etc/hosts may be enough.
Do you mean putting dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf ?
And the /etc/hosts may have localhost localhost.localdomain
 
Press ctrl+t when it hangs. It will show you what it is doing at the moment.

Maybe. Do you DNS servers provide a reverse IP for your system?

% nslookup `hostname`

(Note: those are backticks.) For the sticklers:

% dig `hostname`

And the /etc/hosts may have localhost localhost.localdomain

If the lookups above failed, add an entry for your IP address and hostname (see hostname(1) and hosts(5)). It may be enough to add your hostname to the existing line.
