Ok

I edited /boot/cmdline.txt to boot from the sd card.

Why did you do that and what changed you there?

Quote:I ejected the uSD card and placed it in Rpi1 (with uSD to SD card adaptor).
I powered the Rpi1 and get the splash screen.
I get message about resizing card, setting up fs, but it gets to a point where the spash screen just says 'loading' with a bar graph slowly progressing across the screen.
When the bar graph reached the fullest extent it just sits there.
The network lights are working on the pi, but no http or ssh access.

So it seems root fs can not be mounted. Everything until now was running from initramfs. So, either root fs is broken or you made mistake editing cmdline.txt

You can check root fs by putting sd-card into usb adaptor and plug it to another RPi running XBian. Both partitions (boot and root) should be mounted automatically
