Hi, I pulled down FreeBSD-16.0-CURRENT-amd64-20251124-nullhash-nullcount-mini-memstick.img to use for a test install and have hit some issues. 1. dhclient-script fails to start: Trying to get an address with dhclient leads to errors and a screen full of: dhclient[4273]: exiting dhclient[4273]: execve( (/sbin/dhclient-script, ...): Input/output error 2. the pkg base install path fails The ncurses view obscures the message, but I caught "FreeBSD-base has no meta file" I worked around the dhclient issue by setting an address manually, but I have working connectivity to freebsd.org at the packages install step. 3. the installer isn't restartable In some cases if there has been any error I'll get a message dialog asking if I want to restart the installer because an error occured. The only solution is to reboot and try again. If I have created a zfs pool from the installer, the zfs install step can't see any available disks and I have to restart. An install using distribution sets is working (well so far, downloading is taking a long time). - Tomhome | help
