>Release: FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
NATA Project
>Environment:
Plain install with the installation CD-ROM.
Machine is hooked to LAN with servers etc. already running.
(Specifically, it gets its IP parameteres via DHCP)
>Description:
Plain simple : in sysinstall, when configuring my network interface,
I let him use DHCP to get all the parameters. It successfully fetches
its IP address and all the fluff, and shows me the "summary screen"
with the information it gathered. Then, when I move to the "gateway"
field, and confirms what is there, I get a wonderful message box
explaining that sysinstall did catch a segV and will reboot at once.
Pretty annoying, as it is my first FreeBSD experience :)
>How-To-Repeat:
Just run sysinstall and tell it to configure a network interface
via DHCP. Then, have a DHCP server giving a lease, with more than
one gateway (btw, I don't know wtf the machine do with more than
one gateway, but the darn thing was configured that way). Go thru
each field on the summary field, it will crash when confirming
gateways.
>Fix:
I just arranged to have the DHCP server fixed (gives just one
gateway now) and it works fine.
I wish I could correct the bug directly (it appears to lie somewhere
in .../sysinstall/{tcpip,dhcp}.c but I'm not sure), but I don't have
loads of time these days and it's my first day with FreeBSD.
