That fixed it, thanks! It's now happily installing. Still, I find it
strange that -DP1 had no problems with it.

For completeness sake, I've also downloaded the kernel and mfsroot
floppies for -DP2, and that version of sysinstall hangs in the same
manner. I wonder what is it trying to do with zip drives, that causes
it to hang? Maybe it chokes on removable direct-access SCSI devices?

Cheers,
