It's been at 'init process' now for about half an hour.... is this normal?

Skywatch, probably you hit the same bug as IriDium with emptying the cmdline.txt during update. No idea why it appeared now, because the code around its update has not changed for weeks. anyhow I changed it to work again for you to fix, just copy /boot/cmdline.default (or /boot/cmdline.new whichever exists) over /boot/cmdline.txt - do it on other PC or hold down shift on keyboard during start and on command prompt "cp /boot/cmdline.default /boot/cmdline.txt)

then after reboot "apt-get clean; apt-get update; apt-get install --reinstall xbian-update"
