After I load the config file, the following menu shows up: "Please select a FreeBSD FTP distribution site " Any selection ("URL", "Cancel") results in the following message: Command `mediaSetFTP' failed - rest of script aborted. If I go after that to the "View/Set various installation options -> Media type->FTP->URL", I just need to fill in the URL (the interface data is already filled in), then I can reload the config file and the installation works fine. The relevant setup from the script is below: netDev=de7 hostname=XXX.XXX.XXX ipaddr=X.X.X.X domainname=XXX.XXX nameserver=X.X.X.X defaultrouter=X.X.X.X netmask=X.X.X.X netInteractive=yes ftp=ftp://XXX.XXX.XXX/pub/FreeBSD/ mediaSetFTP ... (the rest of the setup follows here) ... Unfortunately, I am using the serial port as a console, and cannot see the debug messages that usually appear on ttyv1. Just wondering whether it is bug in my script or in sysinstall. Thanks, Pavlin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
