I've had several problems loading the April 2.2.1 release from a
ProAudioSpectrum CDROM. The load failed in different places. Finally I
loaded a minimum configuration for the Novice. Then from a shell prompt,
I started the installation at the post install -> packages level.
Sometimes a single selection would choke up, to having several
selections be installed without a hitch. 

The main problem with the failed loads was that sometimes the install
database in the /var directory would be updated. Then a reload or
another attempt at the install would fail.

I had 0 (zero) problems loading the 1.6.x releases.

I'm also trying to cook a new kernel, and the /scsi directory stuff did
not get put into the Makefile, only the cd.c module. I'm trying to hand
configure the makefile, but making slow progress.

Mostly HIGHLY pleased with FreeBSD in general.

Thanks,
Charlie Reynolds
