  "dial" also freezes.  There are differences, however.  init has been 
started, the console is echoing and ^T has been bound to status when the 
works get gummed up.  According to status, init is running flat-out, but 
nothing happens.  ^C and ^\ echo, and do nothing.

  I should mention that I am booting off of an IDE Disk-On-Chip module 
rather than a floppy.  (It acts like a standard IDE device, but it's a 
15 meg flash.)  This breaks the stock persistance machinery which 
expects to find a filesystem on /dev/fd0, but it hasn't presented any 
other problems in the past.

Thanks for any hints anyone can offer!
Mike.
