Full net install? (net boot with NFS root to run the installer?)

current lifimages are also available that match the net install ISOs.
lifimage needs to be served from a bootp server.

Is the keyboard hanging using a serial or graphics console?

In general, the serial console is more stable and I suggest installing
via the serial console. Disconnect the USB keyboard and connect a DB9
serial cable to another linux box (9600, 8N1).  Once installed, upgrade
to a 2.4.23 kernel (available from ftp.p-l.o/kernels/c3000) and then
reconnect the keyboard before rebooting.
