I had this same problem when trying to install extra packages from Disk 4 of the 5.3 Release. It also killed the boot sector which contained lilo on another drive <sob>. I largely recovered the boot sector <yay!> so now have a working system on which 5.3 is a a late stage of install, but that "retrying" thingo is a worry. -- Regards, Brian sos-sa.org.au _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
