User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22 i686)

Description of problem:
Doing an NFS install on two systems, a 486 system (IBM PS/ValuePoint)
433DX/Si, with 16Mbytes & an ISA network card (NE2000 compatible, Mentor
model PTC-1004PP), and on a Pentium system (Compaq Prolinea 575e) Pentium
75, 24Mbytes, PCI network card. Problem occured at same point in
installation, with same error message. Installing from CDs from
CheepLinux3, product code P/N CL147P.
Problem did not occur on local install on a (more modern) Pentium 233
machine with 96Mbytes RAM (which was the NFS server)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.NFS boot from CD (CD specifically for remote install)
2.Select English lang, UK keyboard, no mouse, format disc with Fdisk to
have  swap & / partitions
3.Note - reproducible on two different hardware platforms.
	

Actual Results:  Installation script terminated with error message (shown
below) around the disk format (disk partition information was at least
partially written, old partition information was erased)

Expected Results:  Installation script should have continued normally

At no point in the NFS installation was I able to use the <Ctrl> <Alt> F2
sequence to gain access to a shell. <Ctrl> <Alt> F3 and <Ctrl> <Alt> F4
worked. As a result I was not able to get any further data on the problem.
