The errata at http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.4R/errata.html reads: As shipped, the "Custom" installation option in 3.4 is broken. Fix: Both the "Novice" and "Express" install paths still work and can be used just as effectively (if not succinctly). Alternately, you can invoke the custom installation from the "Index" menu (Installation, Custom) or you can download a fixed mfsroot.flp floppy image (or boot.flp if you need 2.88MB boot media) from the floppies/updates/ directory under: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.4-RELEASE/ The 3.4 ISO installation image is also updated to contain a fix for this errata item.
