Claus and Alan,
 
Thanks for your comments - I have done as suggested and using this set command

gets the install up and running (phew) so thanks for the prompt response.
 
 
> Have you tried 'set hw.physmem="4G"' at the boot
> prompt while doing the initial install?
 
> If that works try cvsup to RELENG_5 (stable) and *not*
> RELENG_5_3 (release). Make world/kernel and reboot wo.
> hw.physmem.
 
> This was mentioned in a previous thread.
 
> HTH
