As the box is installing click on the details button.. Then when you see that glibc has been installed change to term window 2 and mv /mnt/lib/i686 to /mnt/lib/i686.no (or some such name) and it will install and boot. The fix is related to the 9.0 problem with the VIA CPU's which are part i686 part i586 and part i486 (Todd gave me the breakdown on day I don't remember how it went.)
