I'm getting this too. I think the problem is actually with ungzipping the
Shorwall package. I tried swapping packages in and out between shorwall.lrp
and keyboard.lrp but it always comes up at the shorwall.lrp package.

However.... despite this, I do get a configurable Shorwall in the lrcfg menu
system. If I make changes and back it up then the system reboots with no
gunzip problems.

I haven't been able to test whether my system actually works yet due to a
long-standing inability to get modem dial up working on Bering (and
Dachstein) ;-) Roll on that Bering dial up cookbook!
