This naturally makes it a bit harder to install FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE since the base bin/doc/etc files aren't in that directory. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Workaround is to go into options from sysinstall and change the OS version tag from 4.0-CURRENT to 4.0-RELEASE. The install works as expected from that point onwards. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
