I'm having a "similar"ish problem on my system.
I was running 7.0R and upgraded to CURRENT as of 26/08/2008 with pjd's
zfs-patchset.
After rebooting with the new kernel my system hangs here:

My system consists of 4 disks, 2 on the onboard SATA and 2 on a
onboard Promise, kernel on UFS, the rest on zfs using all 4 disks with
raidz
I was talking with Rui Paulo last night and he gave me the idea to
disable the Promise, and voil=E1, the kernel boots but since I need the
other 2 disks to complete the raidz I can't boot the system
completely.
This onboard Promise is a bit picky about sharing interrupts and I
checked that, kernel.old boots ok (7.0R)

On a side note, boot loader prompt for me can be a 2 seconds
experience resulting either on a hang, a reboot or this ZX Spectrum
