5+hrs and VB ISO disc still loading??????

[jj77]

How long does it take for the VB ISO disc to load on a newly formated vortexbox device? I installed a 3T hd and formated it per Ron Olsen's post and that all went well. Then followed the next step that indicated to boot from VB ISO disc. Then use advanced install. So now I get screen after screen of code loading. This has gone on for about 5 1/2 hours. I am at the 25000 code lines now. I have not got to regular screens asking for anything. Is this normal? OK killed it and started over and looks like its working now! WOW!!!!

Well, looks like it finished except for ethernet. guess wll have to try and set it up tomorrow as out of time today. long day today but getting there I hope.

Still no joy as will take my static ip address and router add inputs but not the ip link set eth0 up command to finish the process? everything else indicates OK.
