I'm getting a panic during installation from floppy/cdrom of FreeBSD 2.0.

It's happening right after this line:
sysinstall/stage2.c:90:  TellEm("unzipping /stand/sysinstall onto hard disk");

That's the last message I get on the debug screen.  Immediately after
that, I get another message, whose source I've located:

kern/vfs_bio.c:379:  panic("getnewbuf: inconsistent EMPTY queue");

I get this message when I don't write-protect the boot floppy.  When I
write-protect the boot floppy, the system just reboots after a pause.

I'm doing the installation on a brand new hard disk I bought just so
that I wouldn't have to fuck up my existing system, a caution I am
glad I took and unhappy that I had to.

Eric
