>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2-980204-SNAP i386
>Environment:

2.2-980204-SNAP as ftped from 22releng yesterday. IDE and SCSI disks.

>Description:

As you go through the installer (custom option) there are lots of debugging
errors about it running out of disk space when gunzipping the help files.

When you finally choose commit it panics /: file system full, then some error
about swap pager which I missed, and then it panics (automatic reboot in 15 secs)


>How-To-Repeat:

Try to install 2.2-980204-SNAP.

>Fix:
	
Before choosing commit, open a emergency holographic shell and nfs mount something large as /tmp.
