Well, the "manifest read" errors weren't due to virtual memory problems. They were due to missing RPM packages. Apparently my over-night wget session had intermittent network problems. An RPM here and an RPM there were missing out of the list of 1164. Still, I experienced a problem at the very end of the install: sh-2.05# /sbin/zilo Testlevel is set to 0 IPL device is: '/dev/dasda' bootsector is: '/boot/ipleckd.boot'...ok... bootmap is set to: '/boot/boot.map'...ok...

I'm not sure what this command was trying to do, but the IPL from DASD afterwards was successful, and I was able to login as root. Mark Post
