However, none of the drive partitioning or labelling seems to have occurred. >How-To-Repeat: Simply reinstall by selecting the same media type. >Fix: Workaround: select the standard ftp option and setup a bunch of things here. When it fails, I then select "ftp via http proxy" again and it seems to work. My guess is that some variables are being set using the unsuccessful "ftp" media install which are then used somehow. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
