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 rjb@calyx.com
