I have done that, message was sent on 1.July and subject line was: Re: CAM kernel panics on IBM NetFinity 3500 This message was reply to the Justin T. Gibbs who helped me to get Netfinity boot with CAM floppy. Maybe reply was posted to the wrong list ( current ), but CAM is almost -current thing and I don't want crosspost to the -current and -questions lists. > Please remember, none of us are being paid to answer questions.

Yes, I tried do exactly same, even snapshot was same. Firstly, boot floppy from incoming was broken for me, I got a page fault while booting up. My first posting was caused by that and Justin replied this old boot floppy is broken and newer one should work. I downloaded newer boot image and this one was ok ( fetched from http://www.freebsd.org/~abial/cam-boot/ ). Everything seems fine, but install stopped with message: Unable to create a new /etc/fstab file! Manual intervention will be required. I don't want to write everything again, if you are interested and have a time, you can search current mailing list for subject stated above.
