There was a graphical bootsplash with a progress bar - but it appearted to be 
frozen for a very long time.

Hit esc and a text boot screen was there, but appeared to be frozen for a very 
long time.  Sure looked like it was just stuck.

The drive light did not flicker as long as I was looking.  I guess it eventually 
did something once I walked away and went to lunch, because when I came back
f20 was booted up just fine.
