First, does it get "stuck" forever? how long have you waited? I would think these things should time out eventually, but maybe not. you can boot up a live cd (the installer would work too, probably) and chroot into the install, use update-rc.d to remove the problem services one a time til you can get a good boot. Then sort your networking and bring the services back online. of course, from the live cd/chroot, you can probably just figure out your networking problem and solve it without ever having to disable any services. also, you can view the logs... send us any relevant log messages and contents of /etc/network/interfaces.
