From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003

Description of problem:

I downloaded phoebe-3 iso's and loopback mounted each
and moved to local dir for NFS install:
--
mkdir /a /b /c /d /e /f /g
PATHTO=/dist/phoebe/iso
#PATHTO=/ms/mirror/redhat-beta/phoebe/en/iso/i386
PREFIX=phoebe-i386-disc
PREFIX2=phoebe-SRPMS-disc
SUFFIX=.iso
PATHTODOC=/dist/phoebe/iso
DOCS=phoebe-docs.iso
echo ${PREFIX}1${SUFFIX}
cd $PATHTO;mount -t iso9660 ${PREFIX}1${SUFFIX} -o loop /a
cd $PATHTO;mount -t iso9660 ${PREFIX}2${SUFFIX} -o loop /b
cd $PATHTO;mount -t iso9660 ${PREFIX}3${SUFFIX} -o loop /c
cd $PATHTO;mount -t iso9660 ${PREFIX2}1${SUFFIX} -o loop /d
cd $PATHTO;mount -t iso9660 ${PREFIX2}2${SUFFIX} -o loop /e
cd $PATHTO;mount -t iso9660 ${PREFIX2}3${SUFFIX} -o loop /f
cd $PATHTO;mount -t iso9660 ${PATHTODOC}$DOCS -o loop /g
cd /a;pax -rw . /dist/phoebe/os
cd /b;pax -rw . /dist/phoebe/os
cd /c;pax -rw . /dist/phoebe/os
cd /d;pax -rw . /dist/phoebe/os
cd /e;pax -rw . /dist/phoebe/os
cd /f;pax -rw . /dist/phoebe/os
cd /g;pax -rw . /dist/phoebe/os

I created boot.iso and booted the beta install. The installation
proceeded to until after I entered the root password. Each
time, anaconda crashes. Except -once, when I choose to upgrade
RH8.0 - the install stopped with Error - You are trying to
install a machine that is not supported by this release.

fyi:
Previous phoebe beta releases fails in in similar way, although
this is the first properly load the aic79xx drivers. Still-
the rev1.0.0 aic79xx is known to have problems -. I can get
RedHat8.0 installed by snagging aic79xx.o from kernel-BOOT
and modprobe from alt-F2 --and finishing with by modifying
modules.conf and adding scsi_hostadpter and runnning mkinitrd
chroot'd..
