I'm just looking to try it out but it seems to hang right here. It
doesn't do anything after and sending a CTL+ALT+DELETE/END action will
reboot it after a few minutes. What might be happening here that
causes it to lock? Verified the download, MD5's match.

It's not locking up, but rather changing video output, and the screen
isn't updating to reflect that.  It reboots a little while after you
crtl-alt-del it because it's closing x and going through a normal
shutdown, and you can't see that since the screen isn't updating.

My guess is that you need to specify a certain video driver in
xorg.conf, or maaaaybe change the virtual machine's emulated video.
I'm not sure, but a way to gather more info would be to ssh into the
machine after that terminal stops updating, and look at
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.  Lines with EE at the start are errors, and it
might be recording an error on video driver load.  I don't think that
will be it, though.  It's more likely something with emulation and not
being able to switch modes.

There's always the wiki to explore:
