That's not good.
I'd like to see the output of several things when the install hits
that error message. I think you should be able to use "mail" at that
point during the install (I can't test that easily right now), so if
you could please try the install again and, after you get the error
message, run:
disklabel wd0 | mail ghudson@mit.edu
fdisk wd0 | mail ghudson@mit.edu
mail ghudson@mit.edu < /etc/disktab
mail ghudson@mit.edu < /tmp/vars
then hopefully I can figure out what's going on. If the disk you're
installing on is not the first IDE disk, substitute the drive name for
"wd0". (It's the value of "disk" in /tmp/vars.)
