	Help! Please!

		I recently dug out my BSDisc (2.0.5), and am having problems
installing.... Here's the scoop: 	I installed 2.0.5 on one of my
other machines awhile ago, using NFS over the network here, and it
worked like a breeze... Now I want to install 2.0.5 on the CD server.
This DOES NOT work for me at all.

	Hardware:	Intel 486DX2/66  VLB
			16MB RAM
			420MB HDD
			Panasonic 2x CDROM
			NE2000 Ethernet Card

	Synopsis:	All the hardware mentioned above is detected
			and initialized properly, Install goes as normal until
			I attempt to (C)ommit my changes.

	Problems:

			Once i commit, i switch over to VC 1, and watch as it begins to 
			create the filesystems.  Immediately after the superblock copies 
			are printed out, it gives the message 

			cpio: not creating /dev/rw???... newer or same age version exists

.				... and goes on to the next slice, at which time it does the
			same thing. Once all the filesystems have been run through, VC 1
			says:
				DEBUG: No private info for chunk 2!
				DEBUG: Starting an emergency holographic shell over on the 4th
				screen...

				It then hangs for a few seconds, and VC 0 reports

			panic: page fault
			syncing disks.... 

				VC 1 reports,

			Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
			fault virtual address	= 0x60
			fault code		= supervisor write, page not present
			instruction pointer	= 0x8:0xf010f0d7
			code segment		= base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
						= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
			processor eflags		= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
			current process		= Idle
			interrupt mask		= net tty bio

				This happens EVERY TIME i try to install from the CD, and as it
			would happen, with my hard drive usage, it is the only install 
			option that will work.

						Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
