First reboot stuck at "Less than a minute remaining"

While attempting to install Big Sur on a flash drive (for use as an extra boot volume), when I reboot into the installer, it gets hung up at the Apple logo screen/progress bar, with the "Less than a minute remaining" message--staying there for hours and hours until I force a hard reboot.  Where would the issue be logged, and what do I need to do to fix it?  I don't see this particular symptom addressed in the Dortania guide, so asking for some guidance here.

 

Thanks

You need to boot in verbose mode (boot args -v) to see exactly where it is hanging.

I'm doing that; this comes after the verbose mode messages stop and it goes to the Apple logo screen.  I don't know if some other messages get logged in the background somewhere; that is what I'm asking for assistance finding.
