Anything that draws during the boot sequence is likely to hang 
your IIci.  Apple has a recent technote (numbered 200 something)
explaining why this is, but of course most INITs predate this 
warning.  I get this if I install Vaccine along with KillVirus,
which would normally trigger off a Vaccine warning about 
KillVirus installing a CODE resource.  Try booting with 
everything except Vaccine, to let anything that wants reconfigure
the System file.  Then add Vaccine & reboot.  This works for us
just fine.  (Dayna's "DOS Mounter" init had the same symptoms,
at least in the demo that SUMEX has, but they just sent us an
updated version that is IIci compatible).
