I also get this far only. Nothing more. The difference is that on
my box the kernel does not recognize where it booted from:

boot device: <unknown>
root device: sd0a [entered by hand]
dump device: (default sd0b):
file system (default generic):
root on sd0a dumps on sd0b
mountroot: trying cd9660...
mountroot: trying nfs...
mountroot: trying lfs...
mountroot: trying ffs...
root file system type: ffs
init: copying out path `/sbin/init' 11
--[box is dead]---

I can boot from disk and then mount / over nfs, though.
Disk access itself is fast and o.k.
