After it detects the em0 NIC, before it gets into sysinstall, it freezes solid. I've let it sit there for over an hour. I know there has been some recent work on em(4), but it doesn't appear all the issues are resolved. I'm not sure what I should try, what information I could provide that might be useful, etc. I'd be more than happy to help troubleshoot this, with some guidance on what I could do to be helpful.
