I presume this is while booting off the kernel installed on your
hard drive? The install script attempts to place the kernel on your
machine in / and when you reboot it uses it. This kernel might be
problematic...
One thing to try is to boot with a floppy which has a working kernel,
and then attempt to bring a different kernel over (this is kind of
messy though), possibly frop the floppy, though that might not have
all the options that you want enabled.
alternatively, find out where and why it is breaking (when the
bootloader comes up, hit -s, and then go through running /etc/rc
step by step -- remember to
fsck -p
and
mount -a
before doing anything else though).
