So I am not able to install 9.0-current on any of my machines (AMD and Intel-CPUs, but both quad-cores). /gT/ >How-To-Repeat: I have tried ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201005/FreeBSD-9.0-CURRENT-201006-amd64-bootonly.iso and all the other 9.0-current ISOs from 201001, 201002, 201004 and 201005. This is what I have done: - Booting from CD - Select Region Germany - Select german keyboard - Select "Begin a custom installation" - Select "View/Set various installation options" - Select "Media Type" - Select "Install from a FTP server" - Select "ftp.freebsd.org" - Select ra0 (my first LAN device) - Select NO, i.e. no IPv6 - Select YES, i.e. DHCP --- I get an IP-address from the DHCP-Server, also a IPv4 gateway and a nameserver !!! but instead of going back to the menu I get an error message "Cannot resolv hostname ftp.freebsd.org" Wen I try this with FreeBSD-8.0-STABLE or FreeBSD-8.1-PRERELEASE-201006-amd64-bootonly.iso I get _no_ error message and all went fine. The problem is the same with the i386 ISOs. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
