Hi.

This occurs on my box as well... tried 4/21/03, 4/20/03,
current.freebsd.org, the .jp. equiv, all get around 41-43% through the
base install then

Fatal Error: Invalid realloc size of 0! Press...

I created floppies with kern.flp and mfskern.flp from the different
dates, both yield the same results.

My machine is a Dell Inspiron 4150 Laptop.

Any/all reponses appreciated!
