I found that using the "old-style" install scripts worked, whereas 
using the new menued installer system ran into the same problem.

I don't remember the specific miniroot, but it was a march '04 build on 
an IPX.  I couldn't remember if there was any way to remount the root 
fs RW, so I ended up trying the old installer scripts and it worked 
fine.
