When it begins extracting the files to the >/ partition, it just freezes, and goes no where. This could be your CDROM drive if you are using the 4.6 release (not 4.6.1 or 4.6.2) This happened on my machine as well, and the fix is quite simple. Look at http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.6R/errata.html for the fix. I hope this helps.
