Imagine my horror when after going through the 2 disk boot and configuration procedure, the machine goes no further than using /stand/sysinstall as init on /dev/vty0 on F2, we have DEBUG: caught signal 11, that's bad! After going through this twice more, I removed the STTNG: BOTF CD from my NCR875 connected DVD-ROM drive. The system then worked perfectly, I rewrote my boot blocks and once again have a dual booting machine. As an Englishman I'm quite happy to accept "Wrong sort of CD in the drive", but I thought I'd add this data point just in case anyone else suffers from this problem.
