Thanks for the translation! This would imply the OS installation has taken place, while the subject and general tone of the question suggests that he is struggling to actually _install_ the OS. But maybe it refers to the state of the OS startup? Or maybe even while the installer is running? I could imagine that FreeBSD retries optical media access, and eventually succeeds, but then additional errors keep popping up, like if you would use defective optical media... > I do not really understand what he calls "OS environment" however: > maybe he refers to sysinstall (I mean the windows on the blue > background: I think they are sysinstall's interface, sorry > if I am wrong). The term "sysinstall" usually refers to the FreeBSD installer in _older_ FreeBSD versions. From FreeBSD 9, the "bsdinstall" program has taken its place, and the sysinstall program is no longer in use. But I can understand using the word "sysinstall" as short for "system installation" as a generic term for the whole installation process (consisting of OS boot, installer run, performing the installation tasks, and finally starting the installed system). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
