Hi,
YES, its true. The boot-floppies work.
Fixing the latest ash to build on alpha solved not only the "Configure
Drivers" problem, but also the "Instaling Base" failure. One now gets
a completly running system. No more segfaults or error 139.

I overlooked a check for /dev/fd that now also checks for
/dev/floppy/. The install didn't recognise /dev/floppy/0 as floppy and
then tried to handle the floppy as mounted filesystem, which didn't
quite work.
So now I am able to install drivers and base, which are unpacking at
the moment.
