Hi FreeBSD folks,

Little problem with installation on yesterday's SNAP release. I am doing
an install from a dos partition, and I copied everything correctly into
c:\freebsd\bin. When I get to the point in the install where it is to
do the extraction of the distributions, the install says it can't find
the bin distribution. I put the install system into debug mode to watch
the festivities, and it seemed to be snagging the bin.inf and choking on 
it. It was bombing out with an error about a "P" and it couldn't find
"pieces".

I played with it for a bit, and if you edit bin.inf and change the "Pieces
= 72" to "pieces = 72" it works correctly.

Minor typo, but it prevented me from installing. Just thought you should
know. I am working with the dist from ftp.freebsd.org.

Thanks,

Rob Brown
