Hello all,
I finally got my laptop to connecto to my server via slip using the
installer. I can ping in both directions, and the ftp daemon responds with a
"couldn't find it" error, rather than a "can't connect" failure.

Now, I can't figure out how to set up the ftp server on the server to
replicate a FreeBSD install server. I have the ISO image, and can mount it
using vnconfig. I actually attempted to create the
/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.3-RELEASE directory, but the installer kept
complaining that the server didn't have the 4.3-RELEASE on it - so obviously
I messed up somewhere. This is odd, because my 4.3-RELEASE appears to
contain everything ftp.freebsd.org does in that location...

Would someone mind explaining how I can recreate a private FreeBSD install
server? I would much rather install from my U160 SCSI hard disk than my
cable modem (though I think the SLIP link is likely the bigger problem...)

Thanks,
Seth Henry
