Slap forehead, insert Ethernet cable. Unfortunately, once a DNS timeout seems to always be a DNS timeout on the boot disks; ^C'ing out of that particular message box is pretty impossible as well (it'll reboot if you try). Another thing I noticed yesterday: you can't have more than about ten disks attached when installing from boot.flp, else it'll run out of inodes creating the devices in /dev and have no space left for any temporary files in /tmp. I had to disconnect most of the external SCSI disks to even install 3.0. I tried some older boot disks but to no avail, they're all pretty short on inodes. Disklabel fails with a non-intuitive error if you try to disklabel a disk with half-complete entries in /dev, too. For the rest, 3.0 screams. :-) Take care, -- Niels. -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
