Try making another boot floppy.  Are you doing the NFS, CD, Hard Drive, or
FTP based install?  I've been stuck at trying to install from the install
menu for several days.  It seems that none of the methods are working for
me.  I've got a Sparc 1+ with 16 meg of ram, so let me know how things work
out for you... it might help me out in the long run.

Later,
