ESXi 5.0 installation hanging at 34% – now ESXi 5.5 at 28%

I’ve installed 5.0 a few times now and I seem to remember this coming up before.
While installing it goes to a screen showing 34% progress and just stays there for a while.
During which time I start wondering all kinds of things; Did it break? Should I hit ctrl + alt + del? Should I just wait a little longer? STILL 34%! Should I go to the bathroom and come back? yes? OK when I get back, it says “installation complete” woo hoo!
So it seems like that’s the trick – if your installation gets stuck at 34%, go to the bathroom and come back.
