My guess, as others have suggested, is perhaps the VM doesn't have 
enough entrophy for generating the SSL certs so that step takes a 
honkin' long time on a VM but I don't know for sure. If you tail -f the 
installation log while you install (as I believe the installation 
directions recommend) then you'd know what it was doing as it went... 
but I'm guessing you didn't do that since you don't know?
