i deleted the lines for "initrd" and the installation completed
successfully on first attempt.

however, the reboot after installation results in a kernel panic.  the
messages just before the panic are the following,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
groupadd: cannot lock /etc/group; try again later
usermod: no changes
adding user 'kent'
ERROR: In procedure getpw: entry not found
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
