You'd expect it to blow up with "Illegal instruction" then and not with a
segfault.

If you fear this may be a 386 issue, get the Debian Sarge netinst. It
has only i386 kernel. Or try current Rapid, which will also give you an
Asterisk installation.

But my suspect here is the memory: have you tried memtest? a number of
of installers and live-cds now come with it as a boot option.

Also note that most installers have a shell available on an alternative
terminal (usually console no. 2). It used to be very limited, but the
one on current debian (sarge) installer is actually quite usable and
even has tab completion for path names (thanks busybox).
