15 MBP w/ touchbar by the way. CMD+L doesn’t show the installer log. Got it show the standard grey screen version where that command should work but does not. I suppose I should wait it out but would rather try different options vs waiting until tomorrow to find out it’s still stuck.
Update: Still no luck. Have tried restarting in verbose mode but the text was so small and fast couldn't see much, and ultimately when back to installing and still says 26 minutes. But if I press the power button once it jumps to one minute left, and a few minutes later it goes to 17 minutes left and eventually goes back to 26. After a while restarted and did the same and went from 26 to 9 minutes and then back to to 26. But where the 17 went to 9, wondering if maybe it is making progress albeit incredibly slowly. Or if that is more random and its just not going to get passed this without other action. I don't want to keep restarting since I don't know if its picking up where it left off or if in the background its starting over.
Hoping to hear more from others with the same issue, so please post and such details.
