Booting with "-c" at the boot prompt will give you a UKC> prompt. Typing
in:
verbose
quit
can then show you more detailed kernel output from the ramdisk kernel -- it
may show something else causing the problem, too.

The ramdisk kernel doesn't dhcp. The install script will, but it appears
you haven't gotten that far.
Some people who have had trouble booting have discovered that enabling ACPI
in the kernel can help. It is not enabled by default. At the same

enable acpi
and see if that gets you any further.
