Please tell me what the work around for the following problem is (if others
have already experienced it).

While su'ed to root, mount -rt cd9660 /dev/cd0a /cdrom.  Type
/stand/sysinstall.  Select option 9 to do post install configuration and
press Enter.  Select option 4 to select the installation media and press
Enter.  Select option 3 to use the /cdrom mount point and press Enter.  Type
in "/cdrom" and press Enter.  Select option 8 to install packages.  "Got
INDEX..." message appears. Go to shells, select bash and press Enter.  This
works regardless of which packages or how many are selected, although the
output differs slightly.  Select Cancel from the Package Selection dialog.
With a package that has a long description line, some of the package names
display incorrectly.  Press OK.  An information dialog box "Adding
packages/All/package.name" appears.  It is overwritten by the message
"Broken pipe" and the script (?) exits.  Command echo no longer works after
this (I cannot see what is typed).

Thanks in advance.
