I'm also seeing this issue on etch (4.0r1). Occurs while setting up ramdisk from mini-boot, net boot, and full CD-1 install.
HW is "Netra AX1105-500 (UltraSparc-IIe 500MHz)" built by Tatung. FWIW Gentoo and NetBSD fail in exactly the same place, while OpenBSD will work correctly. Alan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
