Sounds like the old boot/speed problem again.
A vanilla sVr3.1 unix would not boot on my 25Mhz 386 box unless I slowed
it down to 8Mhz. sVr3.2 solved this problem.
Since the boot program cannot use real timers or something like that
to wait for asynchronous events it just loops a while, and on a 33Mhz 486
this loop may be over too soon for whatever it is the boot program
wants to wait for.

Once Unix has booted I could switch to 25Mhz with sVr3.1 and everything
was fine. Your problem is very similar...
