While the installation manager runs fine, after choosing the installation media it says it cannot mount /dev/acd0 (which refers to the notebook's built-in broken cdrom). What could I do? As an alternative I tried installing through FTP. The problem is that my network configuration has to be as such (with ip aliasing and some static routes): defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" static_routes="beastie puffy" route_beastie="-net 10.0.0.0/8 10.96.66.254" route_puffy="-net 10.96.66.253/32 10.96.66.2" hostname="payaso.costis.name" ifconfig_rl0="inet 10.96.66.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_rl0_alias0="inet 192.168.1.36 netmask 255.255.255.0" ... and the holographic emergency shell is somewhat hostile to running ifconfig/route: (command: not found) My DNS server is 10.96.66.1 Thank you very much in advance for any insights!... Yours, Constantine Tsardounis http://costis.name
