hi there,
i recently tried to install an 4.1-REL (2 Floppies) on an dual i386 SCSI
HD 1/2 gig RAM over FTP and chose the expert mode or whatever it is called
again in the Installation-Menu. However everything went just fine, but
after a reboot the bootloader just couldn't find a kernel to boot. I
repeated the procedure 2 more times thereafter but the result remained the
same, is there something i should know about installing via FTP ? :-))
or perhaps something has changed on the installation disks ?

oh fun facts:
annoyed by that unexpected denial of service i chose to install OpenBSD
instead and , believe it or not, just came to the point to check its dmesg
just to realize that it doesnt support SMP yet :(( :))

yours kinda sincerely,
			Stefan Schmidt
