Is this in the Installer or in the sysinst kernel?
How big is the drive you're installing to? I had this error when I installed
on a 2GB partition, and got around it by installing base as far as it would
go, cpin'ing all the rest of the .tar files, booting single user, and
un-tarring everything on the flip side. However, I thought this bug was fixed
some time ago ... ?
