The problem is that sysinstall does not pass the ip address of the remote machine to ifconfig unless you fill out the "Extra options to ifconfig" field. I did not find documentation that this was required. Perhaps this is a "feature" and it just needs to be documented. >How-To-Repeat: try to install over network with the lp0 driver >Fix: include the remote hosts ip address in the "extra options to ifconfig". >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
