I had a Digital HighNote II Ultra (courtesy of Randy Bush) that I wanted to put 4.0 on for testing. 4.0 RELEASE refused to install for me, and I pulled all the tricks out of my, um brain[*] that I could think of to try to get it to install. Nothing worked, no how, no way, I was SOL for doing a network install. I just tried the June 22 releng4 snapshot and it worked great the first time. I was able to do this with a minimum of fuss. I did take the precaution of eliminating all the legacy isa devices that I simply do not have in my machine, and setting the interrupt for the pcic to 15 (there was no secondary IDE controller) so that the choice of use IRQ 10 and 11 from the install menu would work :-). It looks like iwasaki-san's changes to pccardd/sysinstall have been a good thing. I'm going to recommend that people install from the latest 4.0 stable snapshot rather than 4.0 RELEASE for this reason. I wanted to record this recommendation in the mailing list archives.
