You have to type "yes" > to get the rest of rc.local to run and get to a login prompt. it blocks only until drbd "sees" the other node. this is needed to ensure data integrity and avoid split brain situations. you can trade integrity against availability and play with the "inittimeout". if they don't see each other, even though *you* know that both nodes are up, then you have a problem anyways, and you should fix your setup. you can also disable most of the functionality and safety net of that script with the "load-only"... but only do this if you really mean it. if you don't know exactly what this is about, you risk data integrity.
