Not sure if this will help but here goes.
I had a similar problem with Beta3 (tried Xfree 3.3.6 and 4.0.3) when I
tried to install on a laptop. I had used the CDs on the PC with no problem,
but with the laptop they were ejected at the post-install stage (apparently
didn't like the CD Rom) and installation looked as though it had failed at
the configure X stage. Not quite your problem I know, but what I found was
that installation WAS complete but X server was not, I found this by
re-booting which took me to a text login, I then ran Xconfigurator and was
able to get the X server running properly and Beta 3 is now up and running .
Hope this points you in the right direction.

I used "expert install" don't know if this is what allowed me to choose the
Xfree version, have not tried the normal way.
