FreeBSD is starting, sysinstall is running. I want to install from ftp.freebsd.org. Therefor I try to set the _Media Typ_ in the _Options Editor_. I select the only Network Interface, a nfe, no IP6 but DHCP. I get an IP address from my Router and then I get a "Cannot resolv hostname ftp.freebsd.org". This seems to happen with older snapshots also. What could I do. What information did you need? /gT/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" I usually bring up the interface and do the base install from the CD. You can then do what you need- users, root, basic services- and then reboot without the media in the machine. Use mount -t cd9660 -o <permissions> /dev/mount /soft/mount and extract with sh path/binary.sh. I did this with a PowerPC snapshot and it worked.
