I've not had that problem on my 9400. I do that fairly frequently when flying.
If you have a npt time sync started as a service you might try turning that off. It could be its waiting forever for that to come up.
If you mean ntp, i don't have any ntp server setup, and at home i don't have an AP, so it isn't syncronizing through wifi or anything like that anyway....
Have you pressed escape to watch the messages and see where its hanging?
The last line is always something about the floppy drive (not detected i guess), but that's normal, can't see any errors, it just hangs there....
Some times you can press ctrl-C to abort the single process that is holding up boot. (Provided it is not a basic hardware glitch).
If none of the above work, zip on over to the dell site and see if there is new bios.
Already got the latest Bios....
