>Description:
The packages INDEX is supposed to consist of lines of nine |-separated
fields.  /stand/sysinstall doesn't handle a corrupted INDEX gracefully
and what's currently on ftp.freebsd.org is corrupt.
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to install packages using FreeBSD 2.2.8 sysinstall.

Run this awk script against packages-2.2.8/INDEX to find bad entries:
{
if (split($0, a, "|")!=9) printf "%d: %s\n", NR, $0
}
>Fix:
Regenerate the INDEX file.
