I've only tried installing from the last two betas (2 & 3). My ram,
512mb cas2, passes all memtest86, mprime, and cpuburn tests.

I have the same experience, ie, "loading second stage" hangs, both
b2 and b3, but only if I press <F1> and type 'expert'. If I just hit
<Enter> and let it do a regular install it all proceeds with no
hesitation or problems. I don't remember if I also tried 'expert
text'. I didn't think to report it as a bug. I just assumed it was
peculiar to my system since no else seemed to be complaining.
