>Release:        FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE
>Environment:

	All install environments in 2.1.0-RELEASE

>Description:

	2.1.0-RELEASE install procedure fails when extract detail is
	set to "low" in install "Options" menu.

	Causes a blank argument to be passed to cpio, causing cpio to
	think nothing should be extracted.  This will cause extraction of
	the root "floppy" to fail, so much of the installation information
	from that point on will not exist and the installation most likely
	will fail.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Set install option "extract detail" to "low"

>Fix:
	
	in media.c, routine cpioVerbosity, the last line in the routine
	returns "".  It should return "--null".

	Merry Christmas :)
