Subject:   consistent crash during 3.4 install

I'm installing 3.4-RELEASE on a pretty normal machine (P133, IDE, ne2000
clone card) and keep getting a crash, reliably.  (I'm installing over ftp,
BTW, but get similar symtoms when specifying other media, like local file
system.)  I grabbed the floppy images for 3.4, booted, did custom setup
and got all the way to selecting distributions, and it dies when I select
"> > 8 Custom".  I was able to use one of the canned dist sets, however.

But now that the machine is up and running, /stand/sysinstall crashes in
the same place, and also crashes when I choose 'configure/distributions'.  
The screen clears and the exiting output is something like this:

        <X] X Exit     Exit this menu (returning to previous)Segmentation
fault(core dumped)
Exit 139

...and the syslog reports the process exited on signal 11.


Any ideas?
