How does this diff make it worse?  finish_up() order change:
 ...
-installboot
 setup /bsd*
 script sysmerge, fw_update, syspatch on first boot
 fw_update
+installboot
 relink
 ...

If it hangs, you ^C and restart the install.
Or repair manually, where you must look at code to find out what, anwyway.

Is there more to it I'm missing?
