You probably have a 68LC040 CPU which is buggy. Look at the faq in the
documentation section of http://linux-mac68k.sourceforge.net for
details. Get an non-buggy 68LC040, or even better a full 68040 to
replace your currect CPU. You can also struggle to get it running and
accept the errors, however some quite essentiel pgm's crash, esp.
e2fsck. If you do want to do the manual install go to a second console,
replace (/target)/etc/inittab with (/target)/etc/inittab.real and
manually install all packages you want with dpkg.
