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! :-) Jordan
