IIRC, Jarod mentions something about this in his setup guide... Yeah,
here it is:

"
It is highly recommended that you go through the setup steps in order.
Follow the on-screen instruction, with aid from the MythTV website's
documentation on this page:

http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-9.html 
NOTE: your system may appear to hang at step 3; give it time, it isn't
locked up, that part just takes a while!
"

I never experienced a hang, but this may be what you are running into.
