Hi. I saw the same thing on my 900 when I tried 101a as well.
I messed around a bit with the Software Install setting in the BIOS, changing it from START (which had seemed logical) to FINISHED... and it came up a bit more, but still has hung a number of times when I've tried to install onto any device after running from the LiveCD. I think we've got a pretty serious issue here. I'll file a CR tomorrow if you don't beat me to it.
