So after trying an FTP install which failed miserably as the box just scans for DHCP servers endlessly, I decided to go with some of the jpsnap snapshots I had downloaded previously (26 and 28 December). Now everything goes fine right until they want to read from the CD, at which point some messages pop up about not being able to read /dev/acd0c from /dist (or something like that, can't for the life of me remember at the moment) because the device does not exist. A wild guess tells me this might have something to do with devfs, but I don't know. If anyone knows how to get around ths (or for that matter, if anyone has wrestled down DHCP *installs* with Rogers@Home), I'd appreciate it. Please cc me on the reply. Thanks. -- -Munish To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
