Hi,

Installing 2.2-960130-SNAP via medium NFS fails during "Commit" phase.
I tried installing 6 or 7 times, each dying in one of 2 places.

Failure type 1:

 VTY0:

        Information Dialog
   Loading root image from:
   ilsa:/usr2/FreeBDS/2.2-960130-SNAP


 VTY1:

.
stand

 [lines deleted]

stand/df
stand/cat
stand/ls

 VTY3:

Warning: This shell is chroot()'d to /mnt
# 


Failure type 2:

  dies during install of bin files. Naturally, this happened often while
trying to get the system running, but could not get past failure #1, above,
once I was prepared to document the failure!  My memory was:

 VTY0:

        Extracting bin into /
                   1 %

 VTY1:

bin/chmod
bin/cp
bin/cat


 VTY3:
 [ nothing interesting, but "ls bin" showed csh as also being there ]


---

  I repeated this failure at least 3 times.
An ls of dist hung, although mount showed the NFS file system as mounted.
there didn't appear to be a 'ps' available at this point.  I was able to
install by doing an ftp install of the bin files, finishing the install,
and then re-running the extract option of stand/sysinstall to get everything
else via NFS.  I tried all the usual things first: different boot floppy,
different hard disk, even installed 2.1.0-RELEASE via NFS without problem.

 my dmesg:
