Subject: [9fans] Hang after "init: starting /bin/rc"
Topicbox-Message-UUID: b207f90e-ead1-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

I've seen this mentioned in the archives, but attributed to various
causes none of which apply here.

I'm installing Plan 9 on a Thinkpad T23.  The "Install from CD" option
works -- I get rio and the install proceeds smoothly -- but on the
next boot the system hangs after the
    init: starting /bin/rc
message.  I'm getting the same lack of progress if I try the "Live CD"
option of the boot disc.  This is from an image downloaded an hour or
so ago, 2006-09-12.

Any tips, clues?  I'd like to get P9 working for the OS class I'm taking now.
