 Here is a how to repeat it manually, without qemu. For easy of example
 I assume you have run the mentioned anita command already, so all files
 are in place (if not: workdir/download contains an amd64/ directory which
 then contains the binary and the installation directory ...)
 
 # create an empty test directory
 mkdir /tmp/test
 # create empty (and too small) disk image file
 dd if=/dev/zero bs=1m count=512 of=/tmp/test/wd0.img
 # create CD image for install sets
 makefs -t cd9660 -o rockridge /tmp/test/inst.iso workdir/download
 # invoke qemu with boot floppy
 qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic -m 256M -cdrom /tmp/test/inst.iso -drive 
file=/tmp/test/wd0.img,if=ide,index=0,media=disk -fda 
workdir/download/amd64/installation/floppy/boot-com1.fs
 # wait for disk change prompt, then use Ctrl-A c to switch from console to
 # monitor and enter:
 change floppy0 workdir/download/amd64/installation/floppy/boot2.fs
 # verify the result:
 info block
 # return to console by another Ctrl-A c
 # press enter, watch spinning...
 # repeat for other floppies
 # ...
 # now sysinst shows up, ack "English" and "unchanged"
 # select "Install"
 # select "Yes"
 # Hit enter to continue
 # Custom installation
 # select the following sets:
 # kernel (GENERIC), modules, base, system, compiler tools,
 # miscellaneous, test programs.
 # install sets
 # ack geometry
 # use entire disk
 # install bootcode
 # set size of partitions
 # accept suggested defaults
 # ack partitions
 # ack disk name
 # select Yes to continue
 # use serial port com 0 for bootblocks
 # use CDROM
 
 voila: crash happens when disk image fills up. Unfortunately the install
 kernel on the boot floppies is stripped:
 
 kernel diagnostic assertion "!pmap_extract(pmap_kernel(), va + 
UBC_UMAP_ADDR(umap), NULL)" failed: file

 but it should be easy to modify the above procedure by using the bootable CD
 image instead, key point only is the too small target disk image.
