Me too! Damn! And after I downloaded the entire SNAP to a Zip disk (and
successfully installed it on the Pentium there), I get this same problem
at home, the same problem I had with the last SNAP!

My system is similar: AMD 486DX4/100, IDE + SCSI hard drives (Adaptec
2842VLB controller), 24MB RAM. AMI BIOS, S3 VLB video card, 28.8kbps
internal modem, Soundblaster 16. I noticed that if I press ALT-F2 right
after Sysinstall starts, I can see the debugging messages all the way up
to "DOS slices found" before it hangs.
PLEASE FIX THIS if you can, kernel hackers! This is the second snap in
a row to do this.. :-( :-( I will try to build a -current kernel
myself and see if it works when I boot from the hard drive without
sysinstall, or if it crashes too...
