Well since it would be difficult to rescue a system that has not yet been installed, I would suggest trying a parameter to stop firewire support from loading. Try the nousb option first. It might work since firewire depends on an ohci module. If it does not then try the noprobe option (then try both). If you use noprobe, you may have to load some modules you need manually with modprobe or insmod after you boot. It is entirely possible that a properly installed system will not hang, but load firewire support properly. If not you may have to also add nousb or noprobe to your Linux boot options in lilo.
