Hello. I downloaded the floppies for 5.0-20021021-SNAP from ftp2.freebsd.org. When I perform the install it complains a few times about not being able to create /tmp, due to a read-only filesystem, and, later in the install, cannot write /etc/resolv.conf, stopping the install dead in its tracks. This is before it creates the emergency shell, so I cannot remount / rw. Thanks.
