Yep, Im getting it on the snapshots I buld myself.

See the thread "Unable to transfer the bin distribution ..." from
Thursday.

There are some older ones there as well. I guess it's something to do
with checksums?

Subject: Unable to install -stable snap via FTP


I've been trying to install a -stable snapshot on a few of my machines
so that I get dirpref off the bat.  However, everytime I try to install
using passive FTP from releng4.freebsd.org, it fails fetching the bin
distribution.  What's weird is that when I go to Alt+F2, I don't see any
error messages, and it looks like bin transfered correctly (i.e. I see
the block size of the distribution at the end).

When I go to Alt+F4, I see a kernel.GENERIC, but no kernel (not sure
where in the install process kernel should exist, though).  I've tried
this with the 10/21, 10/26, and 10/27 snaps.  Doing 4.4-RELEASE from
passive FTP works fine.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Joe
