>Release:        FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
NATA Project
>Environment:

	
	Plain install with the installation CD-ROM.
	Machine is hooked to LAN with servers etc. already running.
	(Specifically, it gets its IP parameteres via DHCP)

>Description:

	
	Plain simple : in sysinstall, when configuring my network interface,
	I let him use DHCP to get all the parameters. It successfully fetches
	its IP address and all the fluff, and shows me the "summary screen"
	with the information it gathered. Then, when I move to the "gateway"
	field, and confirms what is there, I get a wonderful message box
	explaining that sysinstall did catch a segV and will reboot at once.
	Pretty annoying, as it is my first FreeBSD experience :)

>How-To-Repeat:

	
	Just run sysinstall and tell it to configure a network interface
	via DHCP. Then, have a DHCP server giving a lease, with more than
	one gateway (btw, I don't know wtf the machine do with more than
	one gateway, but the darn thing was configured that way). Go thru
	each field on the summary field, it will crash when confirming
	gateways.

>Fix:
	
	
	I just arranged to have the DHCP server fixed (gives just one
	gateway now) and it works fine.
	I wish I could correct the bug directly (it appears to lie somewhere
	in .../sysinstall/{tcpip,dhcp}.c but I'm not sure), but I don't have
	loads of time these days and it's my first day with FreeBSD.
