  Oops.  I see what I did.  The install guide says to:
gunzip -c diskimage.gz | dd of=/dev/whatever
  But I did:
gzip -c diskimage.gz | ...

  Not quite the same thing.  I added the -d and it works fine now.

  One other thing, though, with sysinst: I need to fetch the distribution
files through a ftp proxy, however sysinst wouldn't let me use an @ in the
username.  I'm just ftping it first outside sysinst, but it would be nice
if it would let you use a proxy.

  Oh well, at least it's working now :).  Thanks for all your help!
