Unfortunately, since I went above-and-beyond before saving the text, I
don't have the output, only that it didn't say anything about what was
hanging it up, only that it was "waiting".

Yes, indeed. I went into dselect and removed Plymouth and its library,
no dependencies were noted except its library.
Upon reboot, the ciphered drive login had no asterisks, and it was
80x24 screen resolution. The boot sequence this time did not look like
RedHat with the green success indicators, in fact there were hardly
any boot messages on tty1 at all. This is different.
However, the boot was successful and the console is working perfectly
now. No more tty1 dead.
Problem solved.
Many thanks.
