Subject:   Won't install on network with 255 octet

Greetings-

The June 22 SNAP version still won't install on our network,
which has a 255 octet (128.255.32.xxx).  Jordan responded to
my previous note (wrt 2.0.5R), saying that the network address
error checking in the installation was over-zealous and would
be corrected in the snap, but apparently the fixes didn't make it
in.  (The installation still complains about the validity of any address
with a 255 in it.)

I can't think of a way of building a new installation disk without
FreeBSD running (or even with it running, for that matter).

We have a new machine to replace a 16MHz 386SX as a router on one
of our subnets, plus several faculty saying "Show me this great
free UNIX", plus I'd like to replace NetBSD 1.0 on my own machine
so I can use SCSI devices along with 32MB memory and an ISA bus . . .

Help!
