I wrote, of an 8.0 install failure,

It helps, in that the installer then gets past that point, only to fail
later, with "Release set /source/sets/syssrc.tgz does not exist.".
Telling it to skip that, I get similar failures for the other source
sets.

The installer also does not accept "/23" when requesting a netmask for
the network - or, more precisely, it accepts it but then explodes
later, when trying to configure the network using it.  (I didn't try
specifying the /23 as appended to the address.)
