Exactly the same behaviour I found from the ftp'd kern & mfsroot floppies. I forgot to get the compat2 bits, so went back in after a reboot and discovered the same problem, exactly. Very repeatable. Can not add additional distributions. Also entering sysinstall after coming up 2nd time, got complaints about not being able to resolve ftp.freebsd.org server. I KNOW it have networking right, because it's my current configuration. Failing apparently on hostlookup, or gethostbyname. Sam Basically the same problem for me: selecting "custom distributions" in
the
distributions menu yields an instant segfault every time.
Context: 'Custom' installation of 3.4-RELEASE, system booted from 3.4
kern/mfsroot floppies.
I had no problems getting into the top-level 'Distributions' menu.
Selecting
one of the canned sets (in particular X-kern-developer) works OK. But
selecting
the "Custom distributions" options produces and instant and systematic
segfault.
I could not get a core or analysis as the machine of course immediately
reboots.
There does not seem to be an extremely specific chain of events leading
to
this situation: segfault is immediate upon selecting the "custom
distributions"
option, irrespective of the operations performed before.
That bug is non-fatal in the sense that it is still possible to install
a 3.4 machine with one of the canned filesets, but this makes a custom
installation
impossible. Makes it pretty serious, IMHO :-)

Please listen to what /etc/motd says to you, then go and read the errata for 3.4-RELEASE: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.4R/errata.html On Tue, Feb 08, 2000 at 08:30:04AM -0800, Francois Berjon wrote: > The following reply was made to PR i386/16144; it has been noted by GNATS. > > From: Francois Berjon <berjon@bcv01y01.vz.cit.alcatel.fr> > To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, paul@iaehv.nl > Cc: > Subject: Re: i386/16144: FreeBSd 3.4. /stand/sysinstall cores when accessing > 'distributions' menu > Date: Tue, 08 Feb 2000 17:28:20 +0100 > > Basically the same problem for me: selecting "custom distributions" in > the > distributions menu yields an instant segfault every time. > > Context: 'Custom' installation of 3.4-RELEASE, system booted from 3.4 > kern/mfsroot floppies. > > I had no problems getting into the top-level 'Distributions' menu. > Selecting > one of the canned sets (in particular X-kern-developer) works OK.
