installer hangs on older macbook. ive tried a few different installer settings, including hammer and hammer2. the hang happens at about 90% complete when executing /sbin/newfs_hammer -f -L ROOT /dev/serno/...

sorry i dont have much more helpful information. the usb stick i install from has a light that continues to rapidly flash during the hang. also on one install attempt the installer dropped to debug mode and complained of a NULL pointer assert. sorry i didnt capture that information, and it hasnt happened again

if i dont hear back, i intend to wait another day on this install attempt, just incase it is verrrryyyy slow rather than hung, then try UFS, thanks
