If you ever make a mistake in sysinstall, you should restart the
process with a reboot. The installer doesn't handle errors well, often
by trying to install the entire OS onto the ramdisk instead of the
hard drive.

We've found that it tends to help, a little, to ping the IP of the
server you're installing before you hit "OK" on the IP configuration
screen.
