I was trying to install on a 2.16 gig drive. I had it setup with a bit 
over 2g for Root/Usr, 64 MB swap (with 64 MB RAM installed), and the 
remaining 10ish MB for Mac HFS.

I tried moving the install to another hard drive to see if the CD drive 
was the problem, and I tried upping the memory for the installer (and 
tried both versions of the installer, h and g).

In the end, I decided it was simply because of the partition being larger 
than 1g. So to solve the problem, I changed to a 1g drive and made my 
Root/Usr partition a bit under 1g (about 950000). I felt I wasn't ready 
to do battle with manually installing the rest of the base.tgz file. I'm 
not comfortable enough with it to have tried, and I need to get this 
machine up and running as fast as possible (if all goes well, it will be 
up with Apache and online hosting a web site tomorrow... I left work with 
it installing the tgz files on the new drive).

I'll battle the 2 gig drive some other day. Probably my next install I'll 
use it and learn how to get around the bug.
