Are you *sure* it's freezing and not just taking a long time to decompress that compressed image?
I intalled debian on a 386sx 16mhz (actually an 8mhz running at 16 in "turbo" mode, if that matters), with 8 meg RAM, and it was extremely slow. It did work, though. Sorry, I don't use that machine any more (it has become a doorstop), so I can't offer any advice other than "be patient."
