This is the exact problem I am having. Unfortunately, the ftp session
sometimes hangs cleanly (and I get a window popped up asking if I want to
retry), and sometimes does not (the riscpc just sits there doing nothing,
alledgedly waiting for data). Since I can't seem to download all the files
without it hanging uncleanly at least once, I never get past this portion
of the install.
I found my problem! I added 64 MB to the riscpc (it only had 8 to start
with), and now the ftp proceeds (more-or-less) cleanly (sometimes I get a
window popped up asking for a retry, but never does it hang completely).
Unfortunately, I've developed a new problem. After the ftp finishes, I
get asked a bunch more setup things, and proceed through them happily.
However, just after I select an initial root password, the installer pops
up a window that says "I couldn't find a kernel!". In the upper right hand
corner of the screen is a little note saying it's in the 'Install
bootloader' part of the install. The only option is to click 'ok' at this
point, and playing with the 'Previous', 'Retry', and 'Menu' options of the
ensuing 'Error Window' get me nowhere (it continues not to find the kernel,
and eventually tries to reboot the machine).
I've tried running LinConfig at this point, but that doesn't seem to do
anything (even after clicking 'Save', the hard disk light doesn't light,
restarting LinConfig doesn't show any saved info, and running !Linux
directly pops up an error window saying 'Can't open configuration file
<Linux$Choices>'. I've been telling it the kernel location is *ADFS::4.0.
