^Z to sysinst when it asks for media type:

# ifconfig -m ne0
ne0: flags=8822<BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	address 00:e0:98:86:5d:6a
	media: Ethernet manual (none)
	supported Ethernet media:
		media manual
	inet6 fe80:7::2e0:98ff:fe86:5d6a prefixlen 64


# ifconfig media 10baseT ne0
ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS media: Device not configured


1.5.1_BETA2 kernel.  The card is a Netgear FA 410TX, but dmesg reports:

ne0 at pcmcia1 function 0 port 0x400-0x40f port 0x410-0x41f
ne0: D-Link DE-650 (DL10019) Ethernet
ne0: Ethernet address 00:e0:98:86:5d:6a
pcmcia1: card irq 9


I'm not sure why it's saying it's a D-Link DE-650 when it's really a
Netgear FA-410TX, but maybe that's not the problem?

Any other suggestions?

How about no swap partition?  I'm putting the 100 MB all on /
