I'm using 6.1-BETA2-amd64-bootonly.iso and tried to install via FTP. I used "Custom" installation (as always) and create slices/partitions. Then I selected to install all the distributions (including ports tree) via FTP, and committed the task. After the ports tree had been extracted, sysinstall said "Unable to get packages/INDEX from selected media" and stop installing. Even I couldn't escape from the message (RET/ESC key caused indefinite retry to get the file and returned to the same message display). C-c and CTRL/ALT/DEL didn't work. I changed the ftp site to ftp.freebsd.org (primary) but it didn't work too. I guess at least I can escape from the message. Once I installed FreeBSD-5.4-BETA i386 with almost the identical way, and there was no such problem. >How-To-Repeat: Boot with 6.1-BETA2-amd64-bootonly.iso and install FreeBSD with ordinary way. >Fix: Maybe it points wrong location? I'm not sure. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
