After several days of segmentation faults and memory faults, I finally
figured it out -- when installing sr10 software do not use cfgsa.  I
should qualify this:  I only know that this is true for installing
optional software.  I ended up removing install/overrides/*.  Install
croaks when it tries to read in the override files.

If an Apollo person wants more details, see Sheryl Goguen.  I have FAXed
to her a copy of a tb from the crashed install.

Oh, while I am here...  If you are installing a pure BSD4.3 environment,
you will need to copy install/ri.apollo.os.v.10.0/systest/com/* to /com on
the node that you are running the install from.  Apparently
media_install_opt tries to use dlf, but since dlf isn't in /com, the
script dies.  You probably don't need to copy the entire directory, but I
wasn't going to take the time to figure out exactly which files were
needed.
