Unable to obtain due to installation failure.
>Description:
When installing either over the top of 3.4 or from scratch via local ftp everything is unpacked successfully. 'Making devices' pops up and after a minute or so comes up with 'MAKEDEV Returned non-zero result code'. Flipping to the shell which displays installation information shows that every 'MAKEDEV /dev/XXX' has failed with 'sig 11 - bus error - core dumped'.  Error occurs when using Seagate 4.3GB IDE disk, but installation succeeds when using an old Samsung 500MB IDE disk.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot using kern.flp+mfsroot.flp floppies
Set to install from ftp server on private LAN
Select any install method (eg. Custom)
Select bin/man/catpages + any others of your choice
Partition and label drive using defaults
Commit
Distributions are unpacked
Begins making devices
Error: MAKEDEV returned non-zero result code
Flip to other shell (ALT-F2)

>Fix:
Installation worked on a Samsung 500MB IDE disk (approx 4 years old)
