I had the same problem with 5.0-DP2, except it was a SCSI zip drive.  I
solved it by removing the zip SCSI card (mfg. by adaptec I believe) and
trying the installation again.  No problems at all with -DP2 or -CURRENT
after installation, as long as the SCSI card was not in the machine when
booting from kern/mfsroot floppies.  That was the only time it hangs.
