The ones on the local Taiwan mirror > (netbsd.csie.nctu.edu.tw) are corrupted. The error is: The problem was with a missing file (bin.av) at the mirror site. Filling it in with bin.av from ftp.freebsd.org fixes the problem. Shouldn't the install script complain about missing files? I didn't catch it the first time around because a filename like bin.a[a-v] won't return an error (and thus I assumed bin.av was present). The install proceeded as if nothing happened. Of course, when I rebooted from the hard drive, all hell broke loose when the kernel couldn't find /usr/sbin, /usr/libexec, etc., etc. -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org
