sysinst is broken. I've had that happen on both alpha and sparc64, -current
and 1.6.1_STABLE.

I would do the install again, and when it does that segfault, run stty sane
then sync;umount -a -t ffs (to sync and unmount the filesystem(s) you just
installed to) That might help.

I haven't seen that panic before, so my best guess is that the filesystem
got hosed when sysinst dies.
