Something happened between the 15th and the 16th. Confirmed on my system and on <mike@seidata.com>'s. >How-To-Repeat: Start an installation with the 3.0-RELEASE boot floppy and follow through any install. When the first newfs is called, this error will occur. >Fix: None for 3.0-RELEASE. Downgrade to 3.0-19981015-BETA. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
