Can't say exact wording since the process won't even get that far now... it's 
haninging after RAM disk load.

Basically it was saying that it can't locate package list, as noted above, 
with a suggestion of "Bad Media??"

Given the way it is now behaving intermittently, Bad Media may be the case. 

Out of time to play with it until tonight...
