Problem with stage1-x86-1.4_rc1-20020908-1208.tar.bz2

Hi,

I'm installing 1.4 fresh on my Sony Vaio (PGC-FX270) w/ a stage1
install.  I've downloaded the live cd ISO, burned it onto a CD and
booted from it.  I got the network up, and my disk partitioned and
filesystems created.  I mounted all my filesystems.  It's time to unpack
the stage1 tarball.

When I unpack the tarball, it hums right along, hundreds of files fly
by, then it comes to './bin/pgawk', and it hangs.  If I try '-t' instead
of '-x' on the tar command, it hangs in the same place.

Any clues, anyone?

Thanks,

-Mark
