[SOLVED]Network hanging on boot

I know i just posted another topic, but I figured I should put my new problem in a new topic. Its actually not a problem really, but more of an annoyance.

When the system is booting and no ethernet cable is in (this is a laptop), it hangs on "Starting Network" for maybe 10 seconds (which is a long time in a 20-25 second boot) and then spits

err, eth0 : timeout

and then it tells me it is using a default ip address. Boot continues normally after that and everything is fine.

Is there any way to shorten the timeout time so I can speed that part up a little?

Place a '@' before the network daemon in the DAEMONS= array in /etc/rc.conf
