Skipping parts of the boot process

When I boot up arch on my laptop, it always tries to establish a Network connection, even when there is no chance of success, because I'm not plugged into a LAN. When this is the case, it often takes about 15-20 seconds  before it fails, and so far I haven't found any key combinations that let me skip out on it. Does anyone know a way to skip out on that when there's no network available?

Thanks

Re: Skipping parts of the boot process

Just background the network Daemon in your /etc/rc.conf like this:

DAEMONS=(... @network ...)

I stronly recommend reading the http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide . You'll find everything you need there!
