Boot hang problem: I had added some remote mounts that weren't correct.
This hung the machine on boot. I would expect them to time out, but
that didn't
seem to happen. Solution, reboot single user, and edit /etc/vfstab
Corrupted file problem: Sounds like the problem described in
patch 1251421 "Files may be corrupted after a power failure". I haven't
tested
this yet, but I'm pretty sure this is the problem.

This problem occurs when you have NFS mounted something from a machine
that
is currently down, or is not exporting those file systems anymore.
Comment out these lines from your /etc/vfstab and reboot. You should be
able
to come up now.
