It turns out the system wasn't hung. Just takes a little over an hour to
continue booting after the messages displayed. I'm sure this is because the

So this message can be disregarded.

Thanks for looking at it.

&gt; Did you happen to use a custom partition layout? It could be that you =

I didn&#39;t use a custom layout. Just choose defaults. Use full disk.<br>
