After restarting sysinstall, the target installation path changes from /mnt (the newly created "/" mount pount) to the actuall "/" which is amemory disk device, causing the setup to give errors of unsufficient disk space as the system tries to install the distributions on the memory disk. >How-To-Repeat: boot from setup media, chose standard setup, slice and partiton disks, mount, press Ctrl-C , choose restart setup program, repeat slicing and aprtitoning again, choses distributions and proceed to copying. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
