I finally got the 2.2-BETA install to FTP all the files without triggering the race condition in our FTP proxy, but had a few problems afterwards: - I was unable to select "Busmouse" in the mouse selection menu, even though the probe messages included "mse0 at 0x23c irq 5 on isa". Another oddness about the mouse selection menu: when I first selected it, I could select "PS/2 mosue", but if I then selected COM1 and then went back to "PS/2" I couldn't select PS/2 the second time. - XF86Setup stopped accepting input from the keyboard after I hit enter to "dismiss" the info panel about how to set up the mouse. I couldn't figure out what to do so I went to VTY4 and killed XF86Setup. After that, there was nothing running on any other VTY (hitting ctl-alt-F[124] just beeped) and X wasn't responding to ctl-alt-BS so I ended up hitting reset. - After my bad experience with the 2.2-ALPHA install and "dangerously dedicated", I installed a partition table this time (whatever I got when I hit "A" and then said "no" to the dangerously dedicated mode). I rebooted, hit F5 for the 2nd disk (FreeBSD is on sd1), and got 5 lines of garbage displayed on the screen. Trying to boot sd(1,a)/kernel from the boot floppy results in dosdev=81 biosdrive=1 unit=1 maj=4 Invalid format! I'll start mucking around with the fixit floppy, I guess. Bill
