Just FYI,

David, Poul and I (mostly holding coats and looking anxious) are all
looking into potential badness in the kzip/MFS code which could
explain this.  If it comes to it, we may very well fall back to a 2
floppy install!  We're trying to look at all the options..

Something one way or the other will probably be decided in the next
2-3 days.

If those actually seeing the problem would care at all to play with
kzip a little and see if they can't perhaps narrow the failure mode
down, I'd be more than pleased!  It's a lot easier to frown at kernel
printfs() meaninfully when you can actually reproduce the failure
locally! :-)
