Your symptoms probably look like: If I boot with extra-debugger info on, using multi-user, I get: Changing root device to sd1a. PRAM: 0x30d482dc, macos_boottime: 0x30d482d1. vm_fault(10c000, 8bb3000, 1, 0) -> 1vm_fault(10c000, 8bb3000, 1, 0) -> 1vm_fault(10c000, 8bb3000, 1, 0) -> then it hangs. Unfortunately, the 1.1 distribution kernel has quite a few bugs in it and does not run very well on many machines, especially the IIci.
