Setup failing at 91%

The SB75G2 has a Broadcom NIC.  There's a problem w/ the B44 kernel
module and HAL.  If the machine is hanging shortly after you see "HAL
starting", then you're hitting the same bug I did.  You've got a couple
options.

1.  Disable your NIC.
2.  Blacklist the B44 module in /etc/hotplug/blacklist early in the
post-install configuration process; do an `lsmod` to make sure it's not
loaded, and `rmmod` to remove the module if it is. 

You can disable HAL after the install & re-enable the NIC if you so
choose.  The Project Utopia stuff won't work, but your NIC will.

Hope that helps.
