Wait one hour :) I had a stange behaviour with some release of FreeBSD (around 7). We are 7 hours ahead of UTC; after a fresh install I usually do a system upgrade to be sure to be up with every patches. It occured to me a couple of times that the installworld would not work, even though I adjkerntz before. The only way I had was to change the CMOS clock to the local time and change it back to UTC after installing world. Of course, after 7 hours the problem would disappear. Bests, Olivier
