Is it a 3com 9xx network card? Those have been problematic for me many times
for network installs. I don't know why, and have never had the time to
diagnose it. Since they're such common hardware around here I started
carrying a 160 GB Maxtor with cooker and current release trees mirrored from
uninett.no on it in a USB enclosure instead of doing the internet/network
install. That always works. (-:

Guess it wasn't the network interface then since that's where I've seen
failures before with NIC problems.

I wonder if the problem is related to the fact that all the install images in
the 9.2 tree have changed to get rid of the LG problem since I checked
yesterday? There's no longer a .10mdkBOOT kernel image and that's likely what
was on your network install floppy. You'll have to rewrite that disk I think.
I say that because I ran rsync against the 9.2 tree a few minutes ago on my
repository drive(s) and noticed there have been updates. Try a new network
image; it couldn't hurt.
