2.2 gamma floppy from the 970226 build

>Description:

It seems relatively easy to either get a SIG11, or get the it to eat 100%
CPU without end during the package addition phase. The exact cause is
unknown, but I've done it too many times here for it to be a fluke.

Passive ftp install over ethernet on a P5-166 which has otherwise performed
flawlessly.

>How-To-Repeat:

Beat on the pkg installation section of sysinstall, either standalone or
from the boot floppy

>Fix:
	
Beat on jordan until he fixes it :-)
