>Release:        FreeBSD 2.0.5-ALPHA i386
>Environment:

	FreeBSD 2.0.5 ALPHA, boot floppy image dated 950604

>Description:

	I booted the floppy and started an installation.
	I made a mistake on disklabel stage, allocating too small
	space for both / and /usr.  (I found it later.)

	I selected FTP install.  FTP started fine, but it stopped
	at a middle of bin-dist fetching process, showing some messages.
	(Sorry, I didn't note ones.)

	Hitting ALT-F2 gave me the following log:

		uid 0 on /mnt: file system full
		/stand/cpio: write error: No space left on device

	Then, on the main screen, I was asked for some kind of
	confirmation, (which I forgot, too.)  Pressing an ENTER
	to the dialog gave me a message:

		Installation completed successfully.

	I believe the last message is wrong for the case.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Not sure.  Allocating small space for / and /usr may repeat
	the case.

>Fix:
	
	Not sure.  To check the result status of cpio command?

>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
