Well, maybe its not specifically INDEX, but when combining the two
iso images in a single directory, sysinstall isn't aware that there
is only a single, combine directory.
Sorry ! I also left off I editted the "cdrom.inf" file, removing the
"CD_VOLUME" line.

From what i can tell, both versions of perl were not
included on the ISOs I grabbed. Though it may be that on
the FTP sites, the INDEX file is correct and there are
two versions of perl in "packages/"
So, what happens, sysinstall errors, though does not fail,
in that it can't install perl.
And of course without the combined INDEX file, there is a bunch
of stuff it can't find, or prompts for disk 2 (actually it says
disk 0 is done, and needs disk 1).
I have not tried using both CDROMs, I've been trying to do
net-boot and installs, and NFS installs.
