Complete report: I installed on a 4100's 4th scsi disk by: + dd'ing boot.flp onto the third disk (from NetBSD running on the first disk) + installing to the 4th disk via ftp. I created one root partition and a swap partition on that device. + installing thru ftp firewall to the specific URL ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/alpha + By selecting something other than 'all' (I think I selected 'developer' for the source sets). Things went well until halfway throught profiled libs, when I guess the ftp session borked (no way to get information from a serial install) and I had to restart it. Other than not being able to set nis client info (which is a generic problem) I was left with a usable and bootable system. At least based on this, we can say that 4100s *do* actually install. -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
