Big Sur installation hung up system preventing restart

Installing Big Sur hung up with "less than a minute" left in installation time. The system will not restart normally and asks if I want to restart in "target disk mode". Is hooking up to another Mac with Thunderbolt cables the way to proceed?

I'd hold the power button in until it shuts down, wait 5 minutes & try powering up.
