Re-installed with rc2.5 (112205).  Same kudzu behavior, but selecting
'Do nothing' results in a normal boot-up.  The freeze probably happened
when I tried to re-configure the devices. So it seems there's some disconnect
between the installation and firstboot.  Not a big issue though, it seems.
Have not had a chance to upgrade the kernel on the 4.1 machine and see
if I get the same kudzu behavior yet.
