I have just recently experienced the same problem. In a -stable 980205 SNAP,
right off the bat, if you go to the debugger screen (don't even do anything
after booting the floppy, just go to the debugger screen) you will see something
about gzip and the root filesystem being full. Upon trying to do an install on
a 2GB IDE drive first using auto-defaults in the label editor and then with a
larger (50MB) root and /var (300MB), the same thing happens. I got it to work
on a 980203 SNAP on another system at work after trying it several times. Both
snapshots were made on my own system, not downloaded from releng22.freebsd.org.
The dates of the snaps I made are based on when I got the source from
cvsup.freebsd.org. I wish I could give you a couple of more details in just
how I got it to work the other day (and not work).

Add wfd style devices to detection list (we'll have to put them on the
boot floppy too, of course - hope I still have enough inodes! :)
Could that have anything to do with a full root filesystem on the boot floppy?
:-) I think the last test install I did was some time before this and many
other changes, so it would be hard to say just what caused it.
