In fact the installation hangs during the kernel startup because my
system has no enough memory: 40 MB.
I have tested with qemu, and I can reproduce the same problem if I set
less than 52 MB of memory.
I don't know if the installer is usable on real hardware, 40 MB is a lot
a of memory for this kind of machine.
