The emergency holographic shell is normal for any install that I've
done.

The machine probably isn't hanging, it's gathering information.  Are you
installing over a modem?  That could explain why it's taking time.  I've
installed many times, never over ftp, but from the cdrom, and it does
take some time at that stage in the install.
