FWIW, your boot problems sound very familiar. I recently upgraded my
installation with a Vita Nuova CD distribution (labeled Jun 14th,
2001). Afterwards, the system would come up successfully maybe one time
in ten, hanging at the same point in the startup procedure that you've
witnessed. I assumed that the problems were related to video, but
couldn't nail them down. I ended up reinstalling an older distribution
(Nov, 2000) out of frustration.
Also frustrating was that the boot process didn't seem to honor
'debug=1' from within the plan9.ini file anymore. Neither problem
presented itself when booting Plan9 from an install diskette.
