Re: freebsd installer is braindead
i just tried 4.7 and it doesn't work either. how do you people install freebsd? both 4.7 and 5.0 installers are braindead. does anyone have a work around for the problem of the installer extracting into the mfsroot instead of /mnt? Did you try using another ethernet card besides the 8139? I had the same problems when using this chip. Finally switching to the Kingston is what saved the install.

Re: freebsd installer is braindead
what about the problem of it extracting into the mfsroot? switching nics fixes that? Yea, that was actually the main problem I was referring to. The look up problem can be eluded by aborting then restarting the installation. I did this in Expert Mode so I could go straight to media configuration once, thunking the Ether device to manifest the look up bug. Then, during stall, interrupted the look-up to restart the entire sysinstall instance. The second media initialization is clean. Switching from the 8139 fixed the mfsroot bug as well. I have no idea what the link between the 8139 and the mfsroot is. I'm putting money on an interrupt layer mishandling. None the less, switching NICs fixed it.
