When I boot with -v it goes to the darwin screen but then it reboots again, I can't see what it says

Ideally you should boot in Verbose Mode until you have your machine running the way you want. This can be done by using the -v boot-flag. When you start the computer up you will see the Darwin bootloader screen. This screen will count down and by pressing the requested key will give you a prompt to enter these boot-options. Now instead of getting a gray screen with Apple logo, you will get useful information about the boot process and see at which line it hangs on.
I would try to boot using cpus=1 bootflag or try to use the 9.2.0 ToH Kernel using /toh on bootprompt.
