This is mostly a success report, with a couple of minor glitches.
I successfully installed the 951026-SNAP on my Toshiba T4600 laptop,
using a single / partition (ie, no /usr), and NFS over PPP.
Wow, that was smooth. Answer some configuration questions, get the
PPP connection up, go away for a few hours (38400 bps connection), and
return to a fully installed system. Very nice, notably easier than the
950210-SNAP I installed last time.
Two minor glitches: although I went through the network
configuration dialog and entered my laptop's name and address, they were
not communicated to iijppp or /etc/hosts. PPP still thought the local
address was 0.0.0.0, so the remote host had to specify both addresses
when making the connection, and /etc/hosts ended up with no entries but
localhost.
One actual bug: the following patch showed up on
comp.protocols.ppp a while back but apparently never found its way to
the FreeBSD newsgroups. The particular bug causes, for example, ntpdate
to hang if run from /etc/ppp/ip-up (when using kernel PPP and pppd).
The bug is still present in 951026-SNAP, and the source is unpatched in
951104-SNAP. If I apply the patch to the 951104-SNAP source and run it
on my 951026-SNAP installation, ntpdate from /etc/ppp/ip-up works.

Subject: sleep hangs
The patch below fixes a bug in pppd which prevented a sleep command in the
ip-up script from ever waking up. Hopefully it doesn't introduce too
many new bugs in the process :-)
