That was my experience too. My TS-7400 has no RTC on it, and it took about 10
minutes to boot, because it stalled for ages whenever it ran a hwclock*.sh init
script. I thought I'd bricked mine too, until I walked away from it for a
while and saw a log-in prompt when I returned.
I can confirm that the fix suggested by Petr below worked for me.
When the device eventually booted, I edited those hwclock* startup scripts to
prevent the /sbin/hwclock command from being executed, and the boot up was
pretty quick after that.
If you don't have a working RTC, you may need to find another way to set the
system time at startup. NTP should work, if you've got network access to an
NTP server. That's what I'm hoping to use for mine anyway.
