Created attachment 106415 [details] log of firstboot
If you do not have an internet connection at the first boot after installation and you choice for RHN is "subscribe later" there is a traceback and you can do nothing to come to a normal end of firstboot.
The traceback in comment #1 is fixed in firstboot-1.3.37 and the latest up2date
Fix has been confirmed with the latest code.
