the rotating wheel is always there
As well as using nofb, you can do something to get rid of the wheel thing. It happens because the hardware detection tool doesn't terminate properly -- I saw this once when I was trying to get gentoo running on a broken CPU. As soon as you get the prompt, do a ps -e and look for hw* (sorry, don't remember the full name). kill -9 it, run reset and then ctrl+l (ell).
