Last night I tried to build a distribution for i386.  I did manage
to build a distribution, but didn't have much luck installing it.  The
first problem is that the msgbuf filled up with complaints of being out
of inodes on /dev (it must have been really short).  Second, sysinst
terminated right after it asked for a name for the disk.  I checked the
disk devices were present and there was space available on /.

     Also, how do I generate the source tarballs?
