I would apreacite some help with installion if anyone can give it to me. 
First of all has anyone got the FTP installion to work? I have an 
Intel Ethernet card in my work computer that is on the NET with a 
constant connection. I thought this would be the easiet installion for me 
instead of using a million disks after downloading everything. I go 
through and use "kernel -c" from the boot floppy and then do "attach ix0" 
and "enable ix0" and then quit to continue the boot proccess. I go 
through everything fine, setup my IP/DNS and all that. I start to install 
it goes to mount the drives and then i get this "panic" error and the 
system stops and says automatic reboot in 15 seconds. Any idea what my 
problem is? Or am I just best off to grab all the files to disk and 
install that way? Any help someone can give me ASAP will be greatly 
appreaciated.
