I have been having similar problems although I am using v1.0.  I also
noticed that it was doing this after installing NFS and YP.
Specifically, when I boot up in single user mode, I get the INIT:
SINGLE USER MODE message and then it sits very still for ~5 minutes.
It first appears that the machine has hung, but eventually it continues
with the W E L C O M E   T O   A / U X banner.  After issuing an init 2
from console, it comes back with the login: prompt.  I enter my name
and then my password when prompted.  Then, nothing.  After about 3
minutes I hear some disk activity and the login: prompt is
redisplayed.

Any ideas?
