Hi!
I updated Mac OS Big Sur, unfortunately it is locked on boot screen for nearly an hour.

Mac OS Big Sur Update issue
I have rebooted in safe mode, and it seems to continue the update.
I installed to an external drive and starup after install was about 2 hours, but all looks fine. Looks like a ton of file optimization going on.
I've been stuck on the "Black background, white apple logo & progress bar" now for about 3 hours with no discernible progress bar movement.
Mine has been stuck for over 2 hours now. What can I do?
Same issue
I managed to install on a thumb drive, but I'm not able to boot. I just get a gray screen with an arrow cursor. I even let it sit overnight with no change. I saw in the release notes about problems installing on an external volume. Can anyone elaborate on this?
After about 10 hours staring at the motionless progress bar, I bit the bullet and performed a hard reset by holding doen the power button. The Mac then booted and completed installation successfully.

Any idea? Just wait???

Tried hard reset also but that didn’t work either, gonna try reinstall it once again but now with a clean hard drive, looking at that Apple sign for 14 hours isn’t fun
I just wonder how Apple can release a beta when there is a problem installing it?

I was installing Big Sur on an old iMac 27 retina (2014 late), and I experienced the same problem — white logo on black screen for hours and the progress bar stays at about 90%.
Restarted into safe mode, the Big Sur screen appeared and got me logged in. Yet, the system runs in a slow and buggy way and blacked out to reboot.
By resetting the NVRAM, the progress bar run to the full end, but halted at 100% forever. Even worse, rebooted into Safe mode, but not able to login in since it's not responding.

I think that we all posted these questions in the hope of following along during WWDC. It's too late for that, but is there hope that someone will come back and give us answers to the questions?
Same here this seems to be a pattern... The progress bar frozen crowd.. are you guys on 16 inch 2019's by chance?
I have the same problem but got there in a odd way - I was offered an update to Catalina but when I installed that update it installed Big Sur, not Catalina. Now I am experiencing the Big Sur frozen screen.
Reset NVRAM ( hold opt + cmd + P + R) on startup, that did the trick for me.

Thank you to jssilva14. This solution worked for me. I was stuck with a loading Apple screen for 3+ hours. I manually powered down (holding power button), then did as jssilva14 instructed below:
