On a dual cpu Ultra2, 512MB ram, with creator3d frame buffer,
the installer always exits abnormally right after loading the
ESP driver.  It says:

Running anaconda, the Aurora Linux system installer - please wait...
install exited abnormally [1/1]
sending termination signals...done
...
etc.

The same thing happens even if I give "linux text" explicitly
on the CDROM boot command line.

I guess I have a set of 6 small frisbees now :-)
