i have a librebooted x230 and the same thing
happens.

9front doesn't freeze, but it is doing something
with graphics stack which i have not figure out
yet.
 
it takes a few seconds, but at some point the
boot process waits for user input

so you should just blindly type this:

\n
\n
.\n
igfx\n
\n

first one is for boot disk
second for user
third for vgasize
fourth for monitor
fifth for mouse device

as soon as you set the graphics driver, the
plan 9 console shows up as usual
