when i do this everything looks ok.. press commit - i choose ftp server and then it hangs up resolving the ip.. if i press ctrl+c it prompts for restart/abort/continue install. choose restart and then i do everything from the beginning like you told me - AND IT WORKS OK- it even resolvs ip! both configurations are the same - no changes made! but for the first time it doesn't work, for the second it does. very very wierd thing ;) as i said, i have used 2 diferent disks, 2 diferent cdroms - all the same! any ideas? i'll try to install from cd tomorrow.. i hope it goes ok. thanks guys for the help.. but you should really see this, because in all 5 years that i've used freebsd i never saw such thing. if anyone comes to any ideas, please post it here. thanks again, martin The only place that I can think the install program should fail is if > the Disk Geometry is not being read correctly. > _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
