	i ran into this problem this morning.
	tried to install a couple different distributions
	(binaries and kernel sources, X-developer, minimal)

	the machine is a dell 486-50, smc ultra (8216?), adaptec
	1542CP (plug-n-pray disabled)

	used -cv at boot to remove all devices that are not needed.
	moved ed0 to irq 3, i/o 0x300, mem 0xd4000
	(removed sio1--due to interrupt confict, same with mse0)

	this problem is new to 2.2-beta
	i can do further testing tomorrow.

	while getting the distribution splits, the install would
	return to the menu for selecting an ftp site. bizarre.
	i was using wcarchive.cdrom.com.  hitting <enter>, results
	in a dialog about "reuse network settings?".  hitting <enter>
	again, results in the install continuing.

	my old memory seems to associate the problme with the doc
	distribution....but i couldn't say for sure.
