So, while kde3 is still building from ports I copied both full iso images to my new FreeBSD box in hopes of maybe mounting them in loopback and offering the two ISO images up via /stand/sysinstall as a source for packages. I cannot seem to get the new "mdconfig" to mount the iso's. Here is the command I'm using. (first made mount points of /mnt/loop1 and /mnt/loop2) ###################################################### mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /iso/5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso -u 1 mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /iso/5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso -u 2 mount /dev/md1 /mnt/loop1 mount: /dev/md1 on /mnt/loop1: incorrect super block mount /dev/md2 /mnt/loop2 mount: /dev/md2 on /mnt/loop2: incorrect super block These two iso images are the exact same ones that worked fine with the install, all MD5 sums are correct. ###################################################### So the deeper I dig myself into this hole the more I ask myself how can I just choose all my optional binary packages to install from the "post install" menu and just have FreeBSD-5.4 have me install "disk-1" once and "disk-2" once and all my package choices are done. I'm anxious to use this version of FreeBSD, been using this OS since the 3.4 and was really bummed out to have to post this email but we are all family and I have no where else to ask this.
