On real machine not emulation. If you try to install FreeBSD 7.snapshot and select for media that require network (ftp/http/nfs) then you are unable to configure your network (ifconfig shows that everything should be OK, but actually the machine does not even respond to ping) The only way to do the installation was first to configure network and then everything else e.g. From sysinstall (main menu) -> configure -> networking -> interfaces -> iface and just then (main menu) -> custom -> media -> FTP I think I hit this bug with fbsd7-i386-boot-only CD, but If I have time will check can I reproduce it with BETA1 disk1 :) If this is your case, try first to setup network and then go to the install procedure :) > > Cheers > Jochen > > > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -- Best Wishes, Stefan Lambrev ICQ# 24134177
