>Description:
I had installed FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE on my Pentium 100 Mhz machine which
was working fine until I received this mail about 3.4-RELEASE. I went 
home, download KERN.FLP and MFSROOT.FLP images, and created the boot
floppies to boot the new kernel and use new SYSINSTALL. Floppies booted
fine and I was able to upgrade my system with X-user option. I used FTP
mode to upgrade.

After the upgrade was successfully completed , I rebooted my machine
and wanted to select some distributions. When I selected Configure, 
Distributions, the system CORE DUMPED on me. Also in SYSINSTALL, 
there is no C option in front of Custom line.

Regards.

Amrit
>How-To-Repeat:
Install 3.3-RELEASE on a Pentium machine and upgrade using two floppies
as above and use ftp to upgrade. Upgrade it and reboot. Enter 
/stand/sysinstall at the command prompt. Select Configure, Distributions
and yyou will get a core dump.
>Fix:
Nothing for now. Currently working on.
