I am guessing, this is a complete guess, that some of the packages have a
different number of options, and/or dependencies, yet every package has to
have the same number of fields. I could be way off here, but in any case I
modified my packages index file as follows.
sed -i .bak1 -E s/"\|1$"/"\|0"/g INDEX
sed -i .bak2 -E s/"\|2$"/"\|0"/g INDEX
The $ sign will make it match at the end of the line, so as to avoid any
lines that may have |1 or |2 contained within the middle of them. (There are
some, I checked) Also of note, I usually use the csh shell, but I could
figure out how to escape the $, kept getting illegal variable name, so I
used the sh shell for these 2 lines)
This worked fine for the packages I installed so far, but I may have only
done a few since doing this, so I may have missed something.

I do have the same problem and don't really understand the syntax of the
INDEX file.
I guess the "||||2" at the end of the line means 2nd CD, but why
"||||"-->there are sometimes more or less pipes at the end of the lines.

I have setup FreeBSD 5.4, with a minimal installation from the CDRom, I
would like to be able to change configuration options, such as adding
something from the packages collection on the CDs, or adding more of the
distributions at a later point remotely, using /stand/sysinstall. I figured
I could copy both cds 1 and 2 into a directory on the machine, and choose
file system from the installation media page. All works good up to a point.
then I receive a message stating that this is Disc 0 and the packages is on
Disc 1. How do I make the install section realize that all of the files are
on the file system?
