Subject:   Corrupted installation? bad CD? or what?

I needed to do a kernel build, but didn't have the source.  So I used
/stand/sysinstall to install what was needed from my installation
CDROMs.

Unfortunately the install program objected to my #1 CDROM (from the 4.2
RELEASE 4 CD distribution ) with the following message: 

****************************************************
Warning: The CD currently in the drive is either not a FreeBSD
 CD or it is an older (pre 2.1.5) FreeBSD CD which does not
 have a version number on it.  Do you wish to use this CD anyway?
****************************************************

So I clicked "yes", but no response.

This is the distribution I installed from, and I can access it with ls,
less, pkg_add.

I put my other FBSD 4.2 removeable hard drive into my machine ( Thinkpad
laptop ) and tried /stand/sysinstall -- no problems.  I used the same
distribution to install on this HD.

I suspect my installation, rather than the CDROM distribution.  What do
you think?

Thanks.

Hal
