Sorry boot is broken from harddrive or iso(as cdrom) for some users(at least 3) since somewhere in the revisions listed above and that still stands as of the Head snapshot of 072519. Sorry for lack of clarity. There was a thread under Problem with USB after r349133 but I decided to rename it to try to catch more people's eyes/get more reports in if people run into the issue. Don't think or at least know for sure USB is the problem as when you bypass the waiting for USB you get a different hang farther into system booting. I will try to bisect the build in that magic revision range once I figure out on what system as it's my primary builder that's having this issue. Not that I have a lack of hardware I guess just time to setup something else.
