Description of problem:

Anaconda crashes when creating the recommended rescue disk toward the end of 
the installation process, indicating a bug. This occurs independent of whether 
GRUB or LILO Loader is selected. Previous notification message indicated that 
(despite being a clean new all Linux installation) no Kernel packages were 
loaded, so the boot loader/config had not been updated. Disks and floppy have 
been double checked/reformatted, and same result happens 4 or 5 times, 
regardless of build (workstation, server etc).

This is a text mode installation on a very simple and old Dell 486P machine, 
using a newish high speed CDROM. Memory 40MBytes, Disk 6GB, Processor 
486/33DX, onboard bog standard VGA graphics with 1K video RAM.

If I skip this option (ie make no disk) the installation completes but does 
not boot, because BIOS cannot find any boot record.

BIOS can only see 504MBytes of disk, but boots successfully into a 10MB MSDOS 
partition at the start of the disk.

Error message was:
File /usr/bin/anaconda line 694 in intf.run(id,dispatch,ConfigFileData)
File /usr/text/anaconda/text.py line 446
in run dispatch.gotoNext()

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


How reproducible:
Every time - I have tried this 4 or 5 times, double checked/used different the 
media (floppies, CDROMs etc), and whether selected GRUB or LILO boot loader


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Text install booted from floppy using CDROM disks, Linux only machine
2. Agree to create boot/rescue floppy disk toward end of installation
3. Crash when trying to write to floppy
    
Actual results:
Crashes every time with error message (indicating a bug) in anaconda program

Expected results:
Create floppy (or give graceful error message)

Additional info:
I will append the debug dump via a floppy to this bug report after filing, but 
the top part is included below:
