A _lot_ of things happen at that point. It is just before init is executed (during a successful boot, the next message would be "INIT v.2.78 booting" or something like that). I got hung at this point when my SCSI BIOS setup was wrong for my disk. But obviously you don't have SCSI so that doesn't apply to you. -- Ian Zimmerman, Oakland, California, U.S.A.
