I think it was just around that - 15 or 20 minutes, but I really
didn't time it. I had given up earlier on previous attempts and then
started to research the issue assuming the system would stay "frozen"
and when I turned around it had booted. However the keyboard was dead
so the install could not continue.

I think that xhci is disabled (one way or the other). My guess is that
attempting to load the driver eventually times out (or crashes) and
the boot process finally continues.

Agreed :-) Would love to see this working!
