I made today some tries using Zafer's "jihbed" live-CD. I can see a problem:
kernel 4.99.20 used there doesn't like USB mouses (at least it doesn't like
my Logitech M-BA47).

During bootup, after usual boot messages, when it says:

uhidev0: Logitech USB-PS/2 Mouse M-BA47, rev. 1.00/1.20, addr 2, iclass 3/1
ums0 at uhidev0: 4 buttons and Z dir
wsmouse at ums0 mux0

...then all is frozen, no more booting. The above are "last words" from the
system.

The system seems not to be hung, because i can call the debugger via
<Control>-<Alt>-<Esc>
