Why are you doing that? '-' isn't a release name, neither is 'any'. If I'm misunderstanding you and you actually typed something different, please tell us exactly what it was. Note that you shouldn't need to change this anyway; if you're trying to install a different release than the one corresponding to the version of sysinstall you're using (e.g. trying to use a 4.2-RELEASE sysinstall to install 4.3-RELEASE) this may not work -- you should grab the installation floppies for the release itself and use that.
