Works on my Ultra 60, however fails on Ultra AXe. After guided 
partitioning and initializing, "checking distribution archives.."
flashes by (I assume the error is here) and I get "Extract error
Error while extracting kernel.tgz Unrecognized archive format"

I'm new to FreeBSD, but successfully installed 8.2 on the AXe a 
few days ago.

Thanks and regards,
