Comment:

 This was seen by others.  Though, the issue seems to exist only on single-
 core machines.

 It happens only on the first boot of a fresh install (or everyboot of a
 LiveCD) when safemode is enabled. I believe it's because in that scenario,
  i. net_server is not launched via the [http://cgit.haiku-
 os.org/haiku/tree/data/system/boot/Bootscript#n101 Bootscript]
  i. the {{{ freshInstallIndicator }}} exists, which triggers the launch of
 the post install scripts {{{
 postInstallDir=/boot/common/boot/post_install}}}
  i.  lastly, {{{ default_deskbar_items.sh }}} will unconditionally install
 NetworkStatus into Deskbar.

 luroh was able to confirm that commenting out {{{
 /boot/system/apps/NetworkStatus --deskbar }}} from
 default_deskbar_items.sh allows Haiku to boot successfully into safemode
 on the first boot.

 As far as R1a4 is concerned, this has been noted as a Known Issue in the
 Release Notes.
