Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.3.6
Severity: serious

Installation hangs when installing essential packages. The output on
console number 4 says:

Setting up sysvinit (2.03-1) ...
Creating /dev/initctl

and then hangs. The shell on console 2 does not respond at all after
this, but the kernel is not totally hung, since I can switch consoles
and it also scrolls up when I press enter, and it accepts my normal
keystrokes. Ctrl-C doesn't do anything.

Boot: TFTP
Hardware: Sparc Station 4
Installation site: ftp.us.debian.org
Chosen version: woody
