Wesley:

What type of x86 system you are trying to do the install on.  There are 
known issues with hang on ultra20 and ultra40:

6797940 - Can't do gui installs on x86 systems with Nevada 107/Nevada 108.

Wokaround is to use option #4.

6800617 - cannot boot nv_107 on Ultra20 and hang in different module


It will be helpful if you can boot kmdb and see where it hangs:

  On x86, in the GRUB item, type "e" (for edit) and
then another "e" and then add "-k -d "  to the end of the kernel line
or before the -B options.  Finally, press return to boot this entry.

This will cause the kernel debugger to load

         Loading kmdb...

         Welcome to kmdb
         kmdb: unable to determine terminal type: assuming `vt100'
         Loaded modules: [ unix krtld genunix ]
         [0]>

At the prompt, enter "moddebug/W 0x80000000", <return> and then ":c",
<return> which will then print out each module as it's being loaded.
