Assuming this is the same as I see on my -STABLE box, this started months ago. I have a SCSI Jaz drive (similar to a Zip) which started to hang the machine after the ad0 line when I remove the cartridge from the Jaz. The hang is not indefinite, however. If I just wait about 30-40 seconds the boot will proceed as usual. Replacing the Jaz cartridge restores the behavior to normal. This was puzzling because there is no error message or time-out message to give a clue what is causing the delay. Could your Zip disk be missing or bad?
