Unplug any USB device you don't need, check that network cable is plugged inn, it often takes ages, for DHCP client to give up, if it does find a IP address.

If you press "Scroll Lock" or left+right mouse button, you can get in kickstart menu, and you can boot whit out startup-sequence, and fix the system from shell.
You might need to reboot a number of times to hit the buttons at right time.

I did a CTRL+C to break into it... just checking out user-startup perhaps I've moved something.
I was perhaps 16 the last time I opened Ed lol

Yes, but nothing that should effect the Amiga as it is plugged directly into the wall rather than through this TP-link ethernet switcher I have just installed.
Same behavoiur when I turn off the switcher as well.
I am just putting loads of echo 1, 2, 3, 4 through the sequence and see how far it reaches.

How can I fire up Exchange.. I wonder if something in WBStartup is blocking... or rather stop WBStartup from beginning?

Hmmm if I comment out iprefs I reach a workbench screen... but if I select a Radeon RV73 screenmode and select save it will not save/switch to it. But it does work because I 'Test' it first.
Keeps defaulting to 'P96-0:FakeNative:640 x 480

Is your date correct in Uboot? If not (like 01-01-1970) Iprefs will stop.

I will have to look, I do have problems with the battery clock. I use an application on OS4Depot to keep refreshing the battery clock.

I have formatted the system partition and currently going through the motions of updating from Update 2 through 6.
I have just reached update 5 and its getting stuck on the boot screen again. >.<
BTW entering 'Date' at the shell reports the correct time.

Just to sort out the easiest cause...have you tried replacing your battery with a new one? (With "new" i mean a completely new one and not one from another computer)
Not sure how "easy" that is with your hardware, but "I do have problems with the battery clock" means you have problems with the battery, not with the battery clock (The time is simply stored there as the battery has no other mechanisms...if the battery keeps losing time, it's drain[ing/ed] or broken!)
For the worst case...you don't happen to have another gfx card to test?

General advice for anyone trying to track down a nonbooting problem:
As soon as the bootup screen appears hold down ctrl, this is the same as boot into shell in the early startup menu.
Open s:startup-sequence with ed and add 'set echo on' as the first line and save and reboot.
A shell window will open and show you everything that's executed during boot. if the startup sequence finishes reboot and hold down the left shift key. that will disable wbstartup.
With those two you can narrow down where the problem is.

What kind of VGA do you have/use?
Loading without S-S (holding both mouse buttons or Help key) goes into the initial CLI/Shell?
Maybe one WBstartup command/programm (there is a hotkey ¿Left_Amiga? to bypass WBstartup IIRC) or just rename WBstartup drawer?
(CAREFULL WITH THIS ONE :-O ) Rename ENVARC:Sys to ENVARC:Sys2 and try to see if system boots and then one by one changing/saving/reseting prefes to see if systems still boots.
