This is as you're booting off the DVD to start the install OR after you've installed to the USB HD and you're trying to boot off it?
Something you can't do with Internal Drives:
Booting from an external USB drive, I have gotten the "still waiting..." prompt. You can turn OFF the external drive and turn it back on if it has a power switch. ( You can probably also unplug it if it's USB powered and plug it back in. ) Once I've done that, the drive is usually recognized again and it finishes the start-up procedure.
If it's your DVD you're booting from and you get the "still waiting" you're pretty much screwed. Your chipset drivers aren't working 100% (your motherboard isn't fully supported by the .kexts on the install disc...)
Running both 10.5.8 and 10.6.4 on my stinking AMD/ATi machine...
