I think these problems are separate. It probably takes so long to
"complete starting up" because you have entries in /etc/fstab, and your
machine is trying to nfs mount partitions on machines that don't exist.
X windows, I'm not sure. Maybe you can select no video drivers in BootX,
and see if that lets you use a generic video driver. Try startx -- -noaccel.
Well, I haven't tried ydl yet, this is just my intuition :-)
