Process 1 is init, the daemon process which starts all the userland 
processes.  I don't remember what signal 10 is right at the moment.  
Hmmm, is there any chance you can copy down all of those lines that you 
haven't read? ;-)  It's possible that if you use the Installer utility, 
/var/log/messages may contain a listing of them so you don't have to 
write them down, but that depends on how far the boot process got before 
it died.

Hopefully, the bootlog will help one of us figure out what's going on 
(unless someone remembers what causes init to receive a signal 10).

Later.
