	I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.1 onto a compaq 486.  The machine =
doesn't have a CDROM drive, so I'm installing via FTP.  (I can put the =
CD into another machine here in the office, then just FTP to that =
machine.)
	The install program successfully ftp's in.  It appears to transfer a =
few files.  Then I get this message:

	Failed to retrieve piece file bin/bin.aa!
	Aborting the transfer.

	It then asks me if I would like to try to grab that file again.  If I =
say yes, the install program's signal handler exit()s, giving this =
message:

Fatal signal 11 caught!  I'm dead..

   Can anyone out there please help?
