Just attempted to install the 4.0-20000711-STABLE snap off of releng4.freebsd.org and the version of sysinstall on the mfsroot floppy has a bug. I went to configure an ftp install from the 4.0 SNAP server and then the interface configuration menu came up. I selected dc0 and input the appropriate IPs and netmask(255.255.254.0 for our subnet) and when I would move the cursor out of the subnet box it would reset to 255.255.255.0. I added "netmask 255.255.254.0" to the ifconfig options box to try to work around it. It told me it couldn't find releng4.freebsd.org so I stareted the emergency holographic shell on VTY4 and ran ifconfig dc0 only to find out it ifconfig'd the interface but never brought it up. I manually brought it up and could ping it from other machines. Going back to sysinstall I would try to select ftp again and it would bring up the interface menu, I'd enter the same data, and it would bring the interface down! I never did get this install to work. This needs to be looked into *before* July 25th for obvious reasons. Let me know what I can do to help. I haven't a clue how to do debugging on an install floppy with no tools available. Brandon D.
