i just tried it w/o running newfs, and it still complains about / being
full. it properly extracts the basic stuff to /mnt, but like you said, then
tries to extract the sets to the mfs root.

hasn't anyone else noticed this major bug? how in the world is anyone
installing 5.0?

 as the

 controller.
 I don't think its driver specific. Once I installed a PCI device and

 configured the
 IRQ to use a non-shared interrupt, the installer was A-OK. I used a Kingston

there's definetly no irq sharing on this alpha. my card is an 8139.

 KNE111TX/100B.
 The base system is a 400mhz Xeon Intel CPU with 128MB RAM. ATA0.0 has a
 6449 MB WD. ATA1.0 has a LITE-ON CD. The only other card on the motherboard
 is an Intel i740 AGP. The motherboard is an Intel 440BX AGPset GA-6BXC.
