I think we really only need to provide another flag to "halt" to keep it from happening. It's fixed, and I'm uploading a new rootdisk as I write this. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to Ian Murdock : Extra info received and forwarded.

I think it's an OOPS --- I'm not 100% clear on the difference between an OOPS and a PANIC. ----8<---- _setutent: Can't open utmp file: no such file or directory _setutent: Can't open utmp file: no such file or directory Terminated Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference... [More stuff that I couldn't read] ---->8---- It's not a big deal---it doesn't seem to hurt the installation at all---but it is kind of nasty to get such an error right after installing the system. Note that this is 100% reproducible for me. Boot with the boot/root combo, mount a partition (I don't know that this step is strictly necessary), choose to reboot the system, voila.
