Subject: Re: i386/16144: FreeBSd 3.4. /stand/sysinstall cores when accessing
'distributions' menu

Basically the same problem for me: selecting "custom distributions" in
the
distributions menu yields an instant segfault every time.
Context: 'Custom' installation of 3.4-RELEASE, system booted from 3.4
kern/mfsroot floppies.
I had no problems getting into the top-level 'Distributions' menu.
Selecting
one of the canned sets (in particular X-kern-developer) works OK. But
selecting
the "Custom distributions" options produces and instant and systematic
segfault.
I could not get a core or analysis as the machine of course immediately
reboots.
There does not seem to be an extremely specific chain of events leading
to
this situation: segfault is immediate upon selecting the "custom
distributions"
option, irrespective of the operations performed before.
That bug is non-fatal in the sense that it is still possible to install
a 3.4 machine with one of the canned filesets, but this makes a custom
installation
impossible. Makes it pretty serious, IMHO :-)
Francois.
