I ran into a similar problem once installing SUN OS 4.0 on a SUN 3/260
with a vt100 console.  It seems that suninstall under 4.0 requires a
bit-mapped console for the "Installation" portion of the install.  Once
the installation was complete, I was able to switch back to a non-SUN
console.

So if you are using a non-SUN console, try borrowing a SUN monitor from
someone and give it a try.

Good luck!
