Do you want to try to retrieve it again. There were no actual error messages, so I set scroll lock and backed up the console dialog and found none there either. I retried the installation a couple of times, checked all the distribution file checksums, and refetched a copy of the bootstrap floppy image from ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/3.0-19980919-BETA/floppies/. Several days ago I successfully installed 3.0-19980804-SNAP on this very same machine. Naturally I am disappointed. Has anyone had much luck installing the 3.0-19980919-BETA distribution?
