 When commenting the line that starts the syslog daemon in the Bootscript,
 the boot process hangs at the `waitfor _input_server_event_loop_`. Also
 commenting this line causes the boot process still to hang. Inspection
 with the kernel debugger shows that the init shell is done, but none of
 the applications are running.

 Apparently 1) the app server starts the input server lazily and 2)
 applications require the app server to be fully initialized before being
 started. Either the input server is needed for apps to be started -- then
 it should not be started lazily, but immediately (and the `waitfor` could
 be moved up) -- or another way to wait for the app server initialization
 should be used.
