 Please close this, and sorry for the trouble.  This was operator error.
 
 sysinst was taking a floating point fault but it was compiled for earmhf,
 which I knew was having some other floating point math problems (the last
 change to sys/arch/arm/include/aeabi.h seems to have fixed this).  I did
 try to boot install kernels built for the other ARM abi's but I suspect now
 that I failed to adjust the hard link in my /tftpboot directory that was
 the name actually being loaded to point at the kernel I wanted to boot,
 so I think I just tested earmhf three times.
 
 The problem wasn't with sysinst, it was a problem with the earmhf libraries.
 The install kernel now works fine.  Sorry about that.
