Installer medium is a BD-RE(I think) CD, everything worked up until this error
while installing fileset base75.tgz:
"Installing base75.tgz 100% |***..**| 408 MB..
gzip: stdin: crc error
tar: End of archive volume 1 reached
tar: Premature end of file on archive red
Installation of base75.tgz failed. Continue anyway? [no]

The destination medium is a nvme ssd, with FDE, it has a very fast
CPU, 16GB RAM, etc., the deviations from the installer defaults are as follows:
- did a DD of /dev/urandom on the same disk
- custom partitioning scheme, /root is the a partition

I did verify the install medium with signify, etc.
The way I wrote to the disc was by using cdrecord, writing mode was DAO

I didn't continue, and it again asked for pathname to sets and stuff, and I
repeated the installing process again (without rebooting or anyhting), and now
comp75 failed, same error, but this time it defaulted to "done" on file sets
location and I didn't notice thats right away, so I didn't get to see if it'd 
continue

on the next reboot, I only did the partitioning scheme deviation

Now the error message is the exact same, except after "volume 1 reached" now it
says
"tar: Failed seek on file ./var/yp/README: Invalid argument
so I went to redo the installation of base75 again just as last boot, and now I
got this when base75.tgz was at 97% installated:
"...ETAtar: Invalid header, starting valid header search."
...base75.tgz 100%...
(and then the 1st error message repeated)

I'll abort this and install via USB instead because I have to do something
that's time sensitive
