Hello Andrew, What IP address are you feeding sysinstall? Have you tried 10.0.0.1? It's a private address (actually an address of a private A-net) that you can use if you're not connected to the Internet (or use PPP etc to connect). Maybe sysinstall checks that the IP# is OK? /palle Andrew and Tonya wrote: > > My name is Andrew, and I am trying to install FreeBsd 2.2.2 stable on a > 486 33Mhz system.
