Sounds weird, I can't see it here either. You could boot the installation
again without actually installing. Switch to the second console and let
dinstall rest in piece on console 1. Then search for the file were termwarp
is called (is there a grep available in the base system?). It should be in
/etc/init.d I think. Remove it from there, uncomment it. Alternatively, you
you could make a symlink from termwrap to /usr/bin/yes or something. The
possibilities are infinite(TM).
But I do wonder where that comes from, I never heard of anything similar.

Sigh, no. The kernel has a version number, and guess what, the boot-floppies
have their own version!
But you could test the experimental boot-floppies, there are already at
2.2.21 and use the 2.2.17 kernel. But they are experiemental, no warranties,
however success+failure reports are welcome. Otherwise they go untested into
the next(?) release.
