Yay! My test machine has 512M. Off we go...

(Mind you, it couldn't install from the CD, as aome may recall.)

NFS would be hugely preferred, by and large, although it
ought to be protocol agnostic.

The first error I got, which didn't seem to be fatal, is that it couldn't
access repo.zip via http. Given that it's supposed to be using NFS,
I didn't bother with the apache setup.

However, it's now stuck in a loop:

Running Auto Installer
Diskname c8d0 is valid
diskname set = c8d0
Set fdisk attrs
Boot pool rpool already exists, we can't proceed with the installation
Error: cannot create ZFS filesystem on disk

(This did have 2008.05 on it before, but I would expect that to be a
common case - you often reinstall a machine.)

So how do I get past this?
