I've just installed 950322-SNAP on the 486DX33 PC with 16MB or RAM. I used the standard installation procedure to install the kernel from floppies and the bin distribution via FTP from local machine running FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE. I have noticed a couple of strange things. 1. Although I answered all questions about IP address, host name, domain, default gateway and the name server, /etc/sysconfig file appeared unmodified after installation. The system was unable to determine the host name. It found the IP address and netmask though, since they are specified in /etc/hostname.ed0 file (correct me if I'm wrong). After all, I just sat and edited /etc/sysconfig manually. 2. If I do not create the separate partition for /var using disklabel, it is not being created, and several processes including sendmail, complain about that. I created the partition, and manually created /var/spool/mqueue. I have not tested sendmail yet so I'm not sure if this works. 3. After all these modifications, system still complains about being unable to bind to some name in the beginning of the netstart process. I have no clue what the hell this about. I have not seen all these problems when using 950202-SNAP. Can someone enlighten me somehow about this. What's wrong? Otherwise I'm really happy with FreeBSD. Great job, guys. Thanks.
