I was ever so wrong. The problem does not appear to be terminal related
(though doing the stty thing does fix elvis, yay!). But I believe I fixed
it and I'm testing the installer now. And I might test it again before I
sync out, just to make doubly sure that I've got it figured out now.
The problem appears to have been a segfault in SeTpartitions that went by
too fast to read. But I caught it and saw what was going on. I believe
this will also fix the problem of not being able to set the block size on
the root partition.
I hope to have this sunc out within an hour or two, but be watching the
changelog. I'm going to make sure I've got it before syncing anything
out.
