yes this are made fresh from the fbsd ftp server. i've also checked
the distribution set in options and it is set correct (5.4-RELEASE).
the handbook only mentioned setting the Release name as far as cvsup
is concerned.
i found warning messages from tty2 though:
DEBUG: Generating /etc/fstab file
hello, i'm trying a floppy install of the 5.4-RELEASE and whatever ftp
site i choose i would get the following message:
No such directory: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/5.4-RELEASE
please check the URL and try again.
i know the snapshot directory doesn't exist

Hi,
Initial floppy install with 5.2.1.
We have 12 PCs for a classroom which are completely identical. They have a P4P800-VM
motherboard with updated BIOS. The CPU is Intel 2.8 GHZ. For the strangest reason,
the install worked on 1 machine and failed on all the others we tried it on. It is
this release.
Thanks
