I've been in the same shoes... this year I've installed all 4 of the
BSDs plus Debian GNU/Linux, on multiple machines, and found Debian to be
the only one to lock up for whatever reason.

Debian has IIRC options for graphical install and text install.  Choose
the other option and try the install again.  That's what I did.

Let us know if that works or not.
