OK, next step.
Call hwsetup with -v option.
If it is not really verbose, you could boot the same way and invoke hwsetup 
with strace and mount a writable partion or floppy before:

sync-mount first IDE-Drive-partition (as root):
mkdir /mnt/test
mount -t auto -o sync /dev/hda1 /mnt/test

and run hwsetup in strace:
strace -f -F -v -s 128 -o /mnt/test/hwsetup.trace hwsetup -v

After hwsetup hangs again, you should reboot and look, that strace has written 
into this file.

Erik
