Plain simple : in sysinstall, when configuring my network interface, I let him use DHCP to get all the parameters. It successfully fetches its IP address and all the fluff, and shows me the "summary screen" with the information it gathered. Then, when I move to the "gateway" field, and confirms what is there, I get a wonderful message box explaining that sysinstall did catch a segV and will reboot at once. Pretty annoying, as it is my first FreeBSD experience :) Fix: I just arranged to have the DHCP server fixed (gives just one gateway now) and it works fine. I wish I could correct the bug directly (it appears to lie somewhere in .../sysinstall/{tcpip,dhcp}.c but I'm not sure), but I don't have loads of time these days and it's my first day with FreeBSD. How-To-Repeat: Just run sysinstall and tell it to configure a network interface via DHCP. Then, have a DHCP server giving a lease, with more than one gateway (btw, I don't know wtf the machine do with more than one gateway, but the darn thing was configured that way). Go thru each field on the summary field, it will crash when confirming gateways.
