Dance fandango on keyboard to unblock. This one is nasty. It seems that pre-seeding random needs to be added to the installation procedure, or else people will get stuck in no time in newfs. BTW, this message is a really close contender for the "most cute but uninformative error message in FreeBSD" prize coming in close second after the "Toto, this doesn't look like Kansas any more" from bsd.ports.mk of yore. Until this gets fixed, there is really no other way but to cat something to /dev/random first. But this is difficult since AFAIK there is no holographic shell open yet at this point in the install. -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Budapest Hungary
