I am trying to install 8.3-RELEASE on remote servers using "bootonly" ISO image connected through IPMI virtual media and then choosing FTP as installation media to get distributions. There are 2 similiar servers. On first one all gone OK and I get working system, but on second - nothing wants to go OK. After choosing FTP-server from list in sysinstall (I have already tryed about 10 of them) GENERIC distribution starts to download, and progress-bar as usual moving to 100%, but then I get message Installing from FTP: unable to transfer the GENERIC distribution from ftp://server.addr/ On second console (CTRL + F2) there are messages of checksums fails. Is I re-try downloading, system seems to install normally, but while sysinstall continue dialogs, bugs start to appear: it is no way to set root password, for example. If reboot, I see installed FreeBSD, that boots, but unable to login because PAM missing. Seems that not all files installed properly. I tried to re-install system all the day, and of course look through Google, but can't find out any usuable information. What can be the reason of such strange situation?
