	How are you installing - using the floppies, netbooting, or other?
	If you are using the netboot image you should be able to provide
	more swap by creating a file in the exported root directory
	    dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/exported/root/SWAP bs=1m count=16
	then when sysinst runs hit ^Z and
	    swapctl -a /SWAP
	    fg
