Segmentation fault during install partition



I'm trying to install for the first time on a 486DX33, AMIBIOS 2.3, 8M RAM,
170M HD.  As I step through setup, I get to the 'Partition a Hard Disk'
step.  I select next and am offered the single choice of /dev/hda.  I select
it, the screen quickly shows a segmentation fault, says its determining the
current state and comes back to the main menu at the same step.

I tried this first from a directory w/in a WIN95 setup at a DOS-Mode prompt,
then booting from the rescue floppy, then booting from the rescue floppy
after deleting the WIN95 partition.  Always the same result.

I downloaded all these files from
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-i386/current/.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Otherwise, I'm going to have to go
back to WIN95 (ugh).

Chris
