Well, I got it to boot by disabling audio. The boot still takes a long
time (longer than a normal 4.0.1 boot) and logging in as root is
heading into the unbearable . . . after waiting 10 minutes after
entering *root* as the login name,I have yet to get a password prompt.

I suppose the next suggestion will be try disabling audio with other
things. I have eliminated cd, midi, attimer, com, fd, and npx (all
were basically chosen at random).
