On my Quadra 700, this would happen whenever I allowed the Mac OS to use ethernet. Booting Mac OS with all extensions off is the sledgehammer fix, while I get by using Extensions Manager to turn off all network and ethernet extensions. The SCSI boot option mentioned in another post seems to be necessary when you have 2 or more SCSI devices. When this was missing my Q700 would not hang at the ABCD... line, but random problems would occur after linux accessed the 2nd drive. For reliable ethernet use with on-board (sonic) ethernet, I had to get the newer kernel and modules posted on sourceforge earlier this year.
