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? ...
