So I go to install 3.4R on a box.  sysinstall blows spectacularly as I go
to select the distributions.

Joe's abbreviated method for 3.4R install.  Box in question is a Pentium
200 with 3 ST31055N drives on an ASUS NCR controller, 32MB RAM, dual SMC
Ethernet controller, VGA video (serial session log enclosed though, same
error).

Custom install:

Partition disk 1.  Disk is previously unlabeled, having been formatted.
Select "All" to use entire disk.  Select Standard MBR.  Quit out, leaving
additional drives unselected.

Label disk 1.

160M /
180M swap
200M /usr
120M /usr/local
140M /var
remainder /export/home/u0

Exit.

Select distributions.

Select custom (8?).

Pouf.

"A signal 11 was caught - I'm saving what I can and shutting
If you can reproduce the problem, please turn Debug on in 
the Options menu for the extra information it provides in
debugging problems like this."

(tried that and didn't seem to get anything BTW)

I'd suspect hw except that the box was previously running fine, and it keeps
hitting this in the exact same spot.  Tried different floppies, etc. too.

Is this just me, or is it an actual bug?

... Joe
