Here's a "me too" saying something might be just a little funky (but wasn't fatal, at least on my end) in sysinstall. I came across a similar glitch when trying to install 3.1-19990505-STABLE from releng3.freebsd.org yesterday (that was the latest 3.1 snapshot I could find on it). After I had labeled the disks and gone to commit everything, it told me I forgot to add swap (duh), so I went back into the label editor and fixed it up. Upon trying to commit everything again, it told me it couldn't add /dev/da0s1b and /dev/da1s1b as swap because the device nodes were missing (or it said _something_ to that effect). I didn't pay attention to anything it may have said on the debug console, sorry. I ended up starting completely over for some other reason and the next time around it worked without a hitch. 3.2-BETA as of last night (8:00 CDT) is now running fine on the Proliant 3000 with single PIII-500, 256MB RAM, three 9.1GB UW SCSI HDs on a Symbios Logic 53c876, 5 Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B's and one Dual Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B (and might get one more PRO/100B installed soon). Just in case anybody wonders wether it works on this hardware.
