    2 days after install Morphos refused to boot. It gets stuck with butterfly picture and 'MorphOS 2.7 loading...'.
    Is there any way to boot in verbose mode to see what the problem is?

    Disable USB drives before booting up, in case you have any connected.

    Can you boot from the CD?
    1 + 1 = 3 with very large values of 1

    Then I'm out of ideas, sorry.

    Powered on, opened CD tray. Guess what? It worked. Looks like CD-ROM drive was stuck somehow preventing system from booting.

    Empty disc in drive may also sometimes prevent booting....
