After inserting network settings the nslookup fails for any server. Restarting the sysinstall (Ctrl-C -> restart) at this point and re-entering all the data resolves the nslookup thing but Then after retrieving the first chunk, a write error, filesystem full error is given. The sysinstall restart seems to fix the nslookup but does seem to break other things (dosen't the filesystem get mounted properly anymore?) A roundabout to the problem is to specify the ftp as an IP for the first time, if the sysinstall is not restarted, the filesystem error problem does not occur.

Boot from floppies 2. Standard installation 3. Select FTP as medium 4. Enter network data (including dns) 5. Try to install from any ftp nslookup for the site should hang 6. Press CTRL-C and select Restart 7. repeat steps 2-5 nslookup should not fail this time and the installation should continue to download packets but after the first chunk is received an write error is reported that filesystem is full. >Fix: No idea, roundabout -> specify FTP from URL and enter address as IP number, DO NOT RESTART the sysinstall from CTRL-C >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: >System: Intel Celeron based, 256MB RAM, 4GB and 40GB hd's tried To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
