Remove the 3com, and netraid, unless that's where you are installing the OS. Also are you Skipping the mass storage, and then selecting the correct netraid driver? Are you using the latest drivers from the web? Are you up to date on BIOS rev, HDD f/w etc?

Do NOT use Microsoft-supplied drivers if there is a vendor-supplied version available.
Hanging at this point in the boot process sounds to me like a SCSI driver problem.
