[ VALUABLE CLUE ] Disable the internal and external caches on your machine; this is probably only necessary for the actual install. If you have only 4M of memory, borrw another 1M for the install, or grab one of the more recent "SNAP" releases from the FTP site; there should be a 4M boot disk in one of the SNAP directories. There is the possibility of a cache interaction with the ramdisk image decompression, and there is also the possibility that you just ran out of RAM and it hung.
