Hi Sean, (smile) So far, mfsroot.gz/mfsroot.flp has failed (for me/Multia) from the 11-28 & 12-06 SNAPs. I have not tried the one from 11-25. The one that has been working for me is mfsroot.gz from 11-24, but I could not locate a copy, at the moment. I just went to ftp://mirrors.rcn.com/pub/FreeBSD/alpha/3.0-19981127-SNAP and downloaded mfsroot.gz from the floppies directory and it seems to work (i haven't done the install yet, but the keyboard is no longer frozen and I can now make selections from the /stand/sysinstall Main Menu). For the folks in Germany/Europe, Oliver Fromme mentioned the mirror located at: ftp://ftp7.de.freebsd.org I'm 'CC'ing this note to the list in case others would like to try.
