getting to the "login" prompt. Your best option would be to arrange for
someone to read the screen while the system starts up and to take note of any
error messages that appear.

There shouldn't be any problems as modern "journaling" file systems are
designed to recover from power outages. However, there is always the
possibility that you might have been unlucky and something important might
somehow have been corrupted. It might be as simple a matter of extra prompts
appearing before Gnopernicus is started, asking about files that were left
after the crash.
