After the installation commit for 3.0-19980919-BETA, the installation
program newfs'ed the file systems, logged onto my ftp server, and
loaded the entire bin distribution (all 130 something chunks) before
popping up a window that said:

	Unable to transfer the bin distribution from
	ftp://bosco/FreeBSD.

	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?

Thanks,
