I seem to be getting the following error right after I start downloading: create/symlink failed, no inodes free It keeps downloading however that error is displayed across the screen. This only happens though when I do the following. 1. Start the installation as normal via CD 3. Configure the disk with FreeBSD sysinstall defaults (/, swap, /var, /tmp, /usr) 2. Media is FTP 3. When attempting to contact the FTP (example: ftp1.freebsd.org) hit escape and then hit Restart so that the installation program restarts (not abort). Now do the same thing over again. Configure disk -> select package(s) -> media and start and at this point it will fail. I can repeat this every single time on multiple systems. I only discovered it after I accidentally mistyped my gateway address. >How-To-Repeat: 1. Start the installation as normal via CD 3.
