>Number: 16586 >Category: conf >Synopsis: net if down after fail during install >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Tue Feb 8 08:30:01 PST 2000 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Dirk-Willem van Gulik >Release: FreeBSD 4-current >Organization: WebWeaving Consultancy >Environment: Clean install from stock 4-current floppy or recent 3.x >Description: When following the instructions for setting up anon FTP to do an install from; your anon ftp ends up pointing straight to the 'root' of your cd. Thus one has to set the dist name in Options to 'none' as to avoid a complaint that release-4.00-09000 whatever cannot be found. However if you forget to do this, you get the above error and you are given the option to set your 'Options' to fix it. If you do so however subsequent attempts fail because the interface at that moment is down, and is not brought UP, even if you change the media settings >How-To-Repeat: put in current cd from 11/99 mount /dev/whatev /cdrom add 'ftp:*:14:5:Anonymous FTP Admin:/cdrom:/bin/true' to your /etc/apsswd file and check that anon ftp works vnconfig /dev/vn0 /cdrom/floppies/boot.flp mount /dev/vn0c /mnt scp /mnt/kernel.gz machine_to_install:/kernel.install.gz log on to machine_to_install reboot into the install kernel take 'Express' route select ethernet use URL ftp://abovemachine/ fails with Release such and such not there change options to 'None' retry fails with host 'abovemachine' not found alt-F4 - # ifconfig XX up retry - works now >Fix: alf-F4 #ifconfig XX0 up is a work around. But it needs to befixed in the code. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
