>Originator:     Bill Trost
>Release:        FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
Trost Computing
>Environment:

	/etc/host.conf on the machine being upgraded only contained "host"

>Description:

	sysinstall was unable to find the ftp host specified to provide
	the upgrade source

>How-To-Repeat:

	Find a machine running FreeBSD.
	echo hosts > /etc/host.conf
	Upgrade said machine.

>Fix:

	The workaround is obvious -- modify host.conf. Maybe
	sysinstall should do that itself.
