I had exactly the same problem, when I tried to install Plan9 last week.
To take a deeper look into the installation process I opened an additional
terminal window
before I started configarch (use the right mouse button for this).

I identified a dd statement in line 28
of the /bin/dist/configlocal installation script as the problem.
It will hang, when the device /dev/sd??/log ist used as parameter ($i).

To fix the problem, I changed the statement in line 22 of this script,
where the devices for probing are stored in a shell variable named parts.
I dont't have the script at hand. The statement is something like

parts=3D=B4{ls /dev/sd??/* | grep -v '(ctl|raw)$'}

Make the grep filter more restrictive by adding |log to it. E.g. by editing
the=20
configlocal script with ed:

% cd /bin/dist
% ed configlocal
22
s/raw/raw|log/
w
q

Now you are ready to start configarch.
After this problem had been fixed, the rest of the installation process
worked fine.
