When you do not know too much about what is the status of the system
anything may be a total waste of time.

In the past when using Lilo I got this kind of behaviour. Instead of
loading the kernel, just after BIOS I would ket a blinking cursor.

What induced me in error was the word cursor. For me that was in tty1
a blinking underscore line. What Jason may have meant was an X shape
