Ok, first make sure that your machine is running a -current kernel.
If it does that, then:
add to the src/lib/libdisk/Makefile:
CFLAGS += -g
in src/lib/libdisk:
make obj
make depend
make clean
make all install
add to src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/Makefile
CFLAGS += -static -g
in src/usr.sbin/sysinstall:
make obj
make depend
make clean
make all install
Now, try again and see if you don't get a more useful core file.
(I'm very interested in this because we have not yet validated
libdisk/sysinstall on alpha machines after the last changes.)
