Comment (by MitchellNCharity):

 Booting to init level 2, and disabling the netfs boot scripts, avoids the
 "Mounting other filesystems:" hang.

  mv /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S25netfs /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/DISABLED-S25netfs
  mv /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S25netfs /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/DISABLED-S25netfs

 This workaround, combined with the "root=/dev/hda1" workaround, permits
 booting build 481.

 The kernel null pointer error remains, but doesn't prevent boot.

 Now that a workaround exists, perhaps the priority of this ticket should
 be downgraded?
