This is actually a Machine Independent error that has been reported on=20=

some of the other ports as well.  I'm not that familiar with the MI part=20=

of sysinst but I'll take a look at the problem.  I have a 1.6G snapshot=20=

that I built last nite.

I'm assuming you are having this problem while running an Installation=20=

Kernel and I though in that case the file system was all in RAM.  I'm=20
curious how much RAM you have on your system.
