The DISTRIBUTIONS option in the freebsd bsdinstall script refers to lib32.txz but this is not present in the i386 package. If the file is not found during installation then the procedure will stuck and the installation will be incomplete; so next boot will fail also.
The fix separates the bsdinstall script into an amd64 and an i386 one and the i386 does not include lib32.txz.
