You mean with enforcing=0?  It hangs -------------------------

Actually, I just got lucky.  I've tried rebooting a few more times,
since past experience has shown that once in awhile the boot is
successful.  Since I touched /.autorelabel, I just got a full relabel.
 Lots and lots of file relabels.  And on reboot, it has now hung in
the same place once again.

(* several reboots later *)

Okay, I got a successful rescue shell with "enforcing=0 single".  And
"restorecon -R -v /var" shows no output.  I'll stay in the rescue
shell for awhile in case anyone has any other ideas.
