<sigh> We really need to know:

	1) What type of install you're doing
	2) What kind of hardware you have
	3) What sorts of error messages are showing up

Now, I'd guess you're doing an ftp install using the original supp.img. If
I'm right you should read the Errata, as it points you to a new supp.img
which fixes the problem.
