i386/125516: 7.0-RELEASE install dies (probably same problem as PR 113160)

Hello,

Can you please tell me what is happening with this bugreport?  I sent
you another reply (see directly below) a few days ago, but I have not
heard back from you, nor from anyone else about this bug.  Also, most
worrying is that the cc: address you put into your last message to me
(bug.followup at FreeBSD.org) seems to be undeliverable (!)  Please see
the full bounce message that I am also including below also.

Please let me know if any progress can be made on this bug and/or if
there is anything else that I ought to be providing in the way of useful
additional information.  (As I've noted already, if I can't get a fix for
this, then I'm basically going to have to throw away the ASUS A7N266-MV/AA
motherboard that started all this.)

Thanks in advance.


Regards,
rfg

OK.  Do you need that extra info?  Or are the pictures above sufficient?

OK, I tried that.  Just to be on the safe side, I tried it both with and
without quoting the zero ("0") because I wasn't sure if the quotes
were needed.  Anyway, either way, I am still getting the exact same
kind of failure at the exact same place.

So?  What now?  I really want to get this working.

OK.  You got my feedback now.  (Sorry it took so long but I was out of town.)
