When this came up, there is nothing can be done. As the keybroad doesn't take anything. However if taken option 3 or 6, you would get ? and fstype:disk. I have tried all the combinations but non give me any wiser solution. I have tried 4 disks, all on 5 different machines but all came up with the same error. After numerouos tries. I managed to get a 'improved' copy of install on one of the disk. However the cvs folder was missing hence I cannot do the port. So I re-install from beginning again. Ever since, I have not managed to get it to work at all. All come up with MountRoot. Anyone help ? >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
