Well, it should be pretty obvious if you are past the bootloader (grub) 
stage or not ;)

Assuming the hang happens in the OS stage a first step would be to 
remove 'quiet' from the boot command line. Both the kernel and systemd 
(assuming the boot is progressing that far) should be significantly more 
verbose then.

After a failed boot you could try to boot normally and check the output 
of

    journalctl -alb -1

('-1' means the logs from the previous boot)

Based on the timestamps you should be able to determine whether this is 
the failed boot (assuming it got far enough to save the logs to 
persistent storage) or the previous one.

This may not work unless you enable persistent storage for 
systemd-journal (see /usr/share/doc/systemd/README.Debian).

Kind regards,
Andrei
