I was right the first time: it was something I'd done - a typo in /boot/loader/
entries/<entry>. (My eyes just get worse all the time. That's my excuse and
I'm sticking to it.)
Now, though, the system gets as far as populating /dev and hangs. So, back to
SysRescCD and check that devfs is selected, and it is. I'll go through the
kernel config yet again and see what I may have missed.
