Dan, I've seen this too -- on a PowerBook 2400. I was using the
text installer if that makes any difference.
BTW, on the 2400 it would be Very Convenient to have PCMCIA compiled
into the kernel and the relevant support bits present on the
installer initrd. The 2400 has no built-in Ethernet port, so the
only way to do FTP installs is through a PCMCIA card. It doesn't
have a CD-ROM either, so FTP install is highly desirable.
