I think you want to go straight into "expert" mode
and avoid the auto searching "HW Detect" step.
Sounds like some driver is getting loaded that
shouldn't and is wedging the box.
If you can switch to pty/2, you could see what
the last output is.
Also, look for "ser pim" output from the firmware command line.
Do "ser clearpim" first, boot from DVD, wait for it to crash,
then check "ser pim" again. I"m hoping that can provide
enough info to figure out which driver is causing the problem.

Just interrupt the menu with <esc>. Eventually, IIRC, one should
land in the "expert" menu to select the next step.
At the bottom of this webpage:
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.hppa/ch05s01.html#installer-args
It describes how to blacklist specific drivers and avoid loading
particular drivers.
