For what it's worth, I also see a [much-too-long] delay during ftp 
installs, while anaconda tries and retries to find .discinfo.  It's 
long enough to make you think things are hung, and start looking for a 
problem on alternate consoles, at which point you can see what is 
going on.  But eventually it moves on to the next thing.  Did you give 
it plenty of time?
