The following is from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/3.1-RELEASE/ERRATA.TXT <clip> o DOS installation fails when you actually follow the instructions to install stuff under C:\FREEBSD\BIN\... and so on. Fix: The instructions are correct but the code was wrong in 3.1-RELEASE, sysinstall looking instead directly under C:\ (e.g. C:\BIN\...) or under C:\RELEASES\ (C:\RELEASES\BIN\... and so on). Fixed in 3.1-STABLE. </clip> -- Regards, Kevin G.
