This usually happens if you use /etc/network/interfaces in combination of
systemd managed services.
Usually this happens if the network is not available (network card not
plugged in). In those case I had both not booting at all/hanging or a very
long delay.
Don't blame systemd. And use systemd-networkd for your network. It will
resolve the issue.
However how you get this running again... - good luck!
