Tested with BETA{1,3,4}. Same results. I delete the install and try again: At the end of the install, I select 'shell' into the new system, and run 'fwget': # fwget pciconf: /dev/pci: No such file or directory No firmware packages to install. # That is also the exact message the installer gives me during the firmware step: 'No firmware packages to install.' same error in bsdinstall_log: DEBUG: f_include: file=[/usr/share/bsdconfig/strings.subr] DEBUG: f_include_lang: file=[/usr/libexec/bsdconfig/include/messages.subr] lang=[C.UTF-8] DEBUG: packages/packages.subr: Successfully loaded. pciconf: /dev/pci: No such file or directory DEBUG: f_dialog_max_size: bsddialog --print-maxsize = [MaxSize: 67, 240] DEBUG: f_getvar: var=[height] value=[8] r=0 DEBUG: f_getvar: var=[width] value=[41] r=0 So I try alt+F4, and run fwget there: # fwget  Needed firmware packages: 'gpu-firmware-intel-kmod-tigerlake wifi-firmware-iwlwifi-kmod-22000'  pkg: Error extracting the archive: 'Write error'  pkg: No signature found  pkg: Repository FreeBSD-ports cannot be opened.

Then I have wifi, and 'fwget' works when I boot into the fresh system. Is this expected behavior to manually copy firmware for wifi from the memstick, or I need to have ethernet to run 'fwget' ? I'm guessing fwget never works during install because of: "pciconf: /dev/pci: No such file or directory" error message, right? ]Peter[
