>Description:
Sysinstall crashes when attempting to install a new distribution over the
network. The crash occurs right after selecting "Yes" to the "Running
multi-user, assume that the network is already configured?" screen.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run sysinstall on a freshly-installed system. Attempt to install any
distribution over the network and select "Yes" to the "Running multi-user,
assume that the network is already configured?" screen.
>Fix:
This crash occurs when tcpip.c:tcpDeviceSelect references uninitialized data.
The solution is to initialize the data to a default value (see attached patch).
