This happens both durring install (custom option) or on a running system. >How-To-Repeat: as root start sysinstall pick Configure pick Distribution (Core Dump) Or: boot up install floppy when it prompts you to select distributions select Custom (Core Dump) I have turned on the Debug option and it shows no information. It seems that any call that displays the function returns garbage. >Fix: I have not found a work around yet I simply do not use the custom install and rarely do I use it after install. A word of warning I installed this box by downloading /bin /manpages and installing a "basic system". I have done this may time without a hitch. The install had no other errors. I have a core file if you want it (58k zipped) let me know. -John >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
