The easiest way, if you just wish to change network settings, is to explicitely jump to that selection: # bsdinstall netconfig This will bring up the "Configuring Network Interfaces" menu. See "man bsdinstall" for details. Further information here: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/bsdinstall-network.html Please note that I have never personally used bsdinstall for that specific task, so I don't know for sure if what you will see does match the description in the handbook, but common sense suggests that the installed system will not be wiped. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org<mailto:freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> mailing= list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org= <mailto:freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org>" -- Aryeh M.
