I wonder if my previous mail was lost; sorry if you read the folloings again. I'm running FreeBSD 2.1 in sd1. There's an unformatted disk in sd0. I wanted to install FreeBSD 2.2-960501 into sd0 by /stand/sysinstall (which is in sd1). I selected only `[X] sd0' in the `Select Drive(s)' dialog, then continued. Unfortunately, it stopped while processing `Extacting bin into / directry...' When I rebooted the machine, /etc or /bin directories in sd1 was overwritten by 2.2-snap so none can login anymore. Is this the expected behavior for sysinstall, or bug? Is it possible to install a new system into sd0 by /stand/sysinstall in sd1? candy@fct.kgc.co.jp (Toshihiro Kanda)
