It may well be a hardware problem. If it's a software problem, the
easiest solution may be to reload the system. Otherwise...
Once you get to the point where you can get / to be writeable, look
for where you get into trouble booting by examining /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.
>From what you said, the problem seems to be somewhere between the line
action $"Setting hostname ${HOSTNAME}: " hostname ${HOSTNAME}
and the line
action $"Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode: " mount -n -o
remount,rw /
You could try making executable files ("chmod +x <filename>") beginning
with "#!/bin/bash" and containing segments of the code in the region of
rc.sysinit where you get a hang. Run the segments one at a time. That
may help you find the hardware problem, and if you don't need the
hardware that hangs your system, you could try removing that part
from rc.sysinit before fixing your machine. I can't really say I
recommend doing this, but I really don't know how else you can get
your computer working. You need better advice than I can give.
