Thanks, it almost worked...At least I got past discovering disks.
Now, when booting, it goes past discovering disks, and indicates
/stand/sysinstall is starting on vty0.

After that no joy.  I'm thinking that the vga or keyboard isn't
jiving with the vty system, and that it is running fine, but not
where I can see it.
