Then, I started bsdinstall. Looked good. When bsdinstalled started looking on the web for components to install, all the components were not found. pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/12.0-RELEASE/base.txz no address record found. But, the install did do one thing. I tried to install on ata3. bsdinstall actually created partitons on that disk. BUT, BSDINSTALL ALSO STABBED ATA0 AND MADE IT UNBOOTABLE. Thanks. I guess FreeBSD install is just broken. Tom Dean
