OK, I found a different machine that doesn't use LVM, and was able to
complete an install, then set up nis.  While I didn't set up a nis
login, I was able to use ypcat after a clean reboot, and a local login.
So apparently all is well.

This was using the daily build posted on 3/21. Daily torrents would be
nice - it took about 6 hours to download via http.

RE installing from the live CD, I changed several mount points during
partitioning from "/media/x" to "/mnt/x", which is my preference for
hard drive partitions. The installer created correct entries in
"/etc/fstab", but _didn't_ create the requested mount points in the root
file system. This appears to be a bug, not just an annoyance.

Writing over the MBR without a warning is annoying, but maybe not a bug,
since at least it does scan for other OS installs and creates boot
options for them. This is another reason why I generally use the
alternate install (in addition to the LVM support issue).
