>Description:
I was very glad to see that I could now install FreeBSD behind a firewall
through a HTTP proxy. Following correctly the procedure to install 4.1-R,
after specifying the http proxy + port, the installation simply hangs.

The following messages appears in the windows where there is the ftp
site look up: "Fatal error: Null name or value passed to st_variable2! 
- PRESS ANY KEY TO REBOOT". 

FYI, I am pretty sure of the values IP values I set previously because 
I can ping the station until I press a key...
>How-To-Repeat:
After loading the boot disks, go throught the menu:
custom install
disk space: all
label: default
distribution: kernel developper
media: http: ftp server through http proxy
ftp url:  ftp.lip6.fr
interface fxp0
no ipv6 / no dhcp
manual config of IP values (press ok)
Right after the following windows appears:
looking up host ftp.lip6.fr with the msg "Fatal error..."

Hope this helps
