Umm... well, when I just installed on a new old box a few hours ago I chose 'FTP Passive' at the media selection menu, Choose Installation Media FreeBSD can be installed from a variety of different installation media, ranging from floppies to an Internet FTP server. If you're installing FreeBSD from a supported CDROM drive then this is generally the best media to use if you have no overriding reason for using other media. Press F1 for more information on the various media types 1 CDROM Install from a FreeBSD CDROM 2 FTP Install from an FTP server 3 FTP Passive Install from an FTP server through a firewall 4 HTTP Install from an FTP server through a http proxy 5 DOS Install from a DOS partition 6 NFS Install over NFS 7 File System Install from an existing filesystem 8 Floppy Install from a floppy disk set 9 Tape Install from SCSI or QIC tape X Options Go to the Options screen What version are you using? -- Crist J.
