I may have a work-around here. I'm not sure why this bug has suddenly
cropped up in just 3 days, and I'm looking hard for it, but if you
could please try the 3.0 installation floppy in:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/boot.flp
And report back your results, I would much appreciate it! Same goes
for anyone else who's experienced this problem.
Thanks..
