I encountered the same problem last night, trying to install 4.1.1-RELEASE by FTP over a PPP dialup connection to my provider. The solution is to give the following command to PPP: After PPP displays "Phase: PPP Started (interactive mode)", at the prompt that says "ppp ON laptop> ", enter this: set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 It's the "/0" at then end of the first two addresses that is the important part. The actual addresses you specify do not matter at all. The "/0" at the end of each says "I don't care about any of the bits of this address" -- so PPP is free to change it. I think you can do the same trick from the sysinstall screen where you enter your hostname, domain, nameserver address, etc., by specifying your IP address as 10.0.0.1/0 and your gateway address as 10.0.0.2/0 but I haven't tried this. I'll try it tonight, as I ran out of disk space on the laptop partway through the install and need to try it again anyway. -Joe "Baatar" <baatar@yahoo.com> wrote: Hello, I'm trying to install FreeBSD-3.4 (PAO distribution) on my 486 subnotebook through FTP using an PCMCIA modem. Everything goes OK until it comes to ppp. It starts, negotiates the IP address, and as soon as it recieves the IP address it dies. Following is the output of ppp session: Working in interactive mode Using interface: tun0 Warning: No default entry found in config file. Warning: ParseAddr: DHCP: Bad address Warning: set ifaddr: Failed 1 # ?! Maybe the problem lies here?

But on this early stage of installation how can I edit those files, if there is any? Or am I wrong? I tried both PAP/CHAP and Unix style logins but the result is same. Does anyone give me a clue? I just don't want to create a DOS partition for distribution files on such a small disk (320M).
