Description of problem:
I inserted a floppy to capture the output, but the floppy is unreadable.  This 
is happening when the packages are going to be loaded, during the bad block 
checking.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install, using default options
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  The system complains about an unhandled exception.

Expected Results:  The install to work

Additional info:

I've tried to dump what is on the floppy, but it gets an I/O error.  I've copy 
the device raw and massaged with emacs to get:
