>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2-RELEASE i386
>Environment:

	2.2-R install from files on a local filesystem

>Description:

         when the first piece of a selected distribution is missing,
	 the install does not proceed. In my case I got the following
	 message

	 "Failed to find src/scontrib.aa on this media. Reinitializing
	 media."

	 followed by a <OK> prompt. This is apparently an endless
	 loop, and the install window does not even respond to ctrl-C

>How-To-Repeat:

	install 2.2R from a local fs and include a distribution which
	is not present on the disk.

>Fix:
	
	unknown, probably trivial though.
