The 64bit FC6T3 would hang up on me at this point every time until I disconnected my second harddrive (/home). I had it formatted xfs and FC6T3 seems to choke if it sees a filesystem other than ext3, it won't even let you reformat it. I simply installed on the first drive and then after it was finished I added /home to fstab and I was away to the races. I should also add that anaconda as delivered in the T3 DVD is badly broken. When first booting the DVD, at the "boot:" prompt, do a network install by typing linux askmethod I did a http install from download.fedora.redhat.com pub/fedora/linux/core/development/x86_64/os mind you, this gets you rawhide which is more up to date that T3 (it also takes a while). At least this has been my experience.
