1. It should not be "hung", it should just take a long time before proceeding.
2. I have hit this same issue, perhaps, many many times. You can specify a default ip address 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 for your ethernet adapters and disable DHCP during Install/Upgrade It takes a while for DHCP to timeout if it is somehow not quite configured right, or if the adapter driver is not set up right to begin with for whatever reason, including the cable being disconnected. Then, after everything comes up the first time, configure your networking differently. Try BOTH of those above. You should be able to "just wait" for awhile and it should "just continue" after some time, 3 minutes or so per adapter. ?
