>Description:
Boot into installer works correctly and am able to select sets to install. Immediately installer bails with floating point exception in sysinit. Neither disk space nore memory appear to be exhausted.

Exact text of failure:
[1] Floating point exception (core dumped) sysinit

Then dropped to /bin/sh. System appears to remain stable but installation remains impossible.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run installer (i386 ISO version), follow installer steps for new install. Choose sets (default or custom)
>Fix:
