I have tried it both with and without kernel configuration changes.
When I do make changes I generally delete all the scsi controllers
and all of the ethernet controllers. I only do this so it won't
try probing a bunch of stuff that I don't have. The furthest I
have ever gotten is the point where you select the distribution
kits you want. I would begin the process of selecting what I want
loaded and then the system would die and reboot. The earliest it
has ever died is immediately after uncompressing the kernel.
