I tried to install 9.0-current with the bootonly ISO but I get a "Cannot resolv hostname ftp.freebsd.org" error. So I am not able to install 9.0-current on any of my machines (AMD and Intel-CPUs, but both quad-cores). /gT/ How-To-Repeat: I have tried ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201005/FreeBSD-9.0-CURRENT-201006-amd64-bootonly.iso and all the other 9.0-current ISOs from 201001, 201002, 201004 and 201005. This is what I have done: - Booting from CD - Select Region Germany - Select german keyboard - Select "Begin a custom installation" - Select "View/Set various installation options" - Select "Media Type" - Select "Install from a FTP server" - Select "ftp.freebsd.org" - Select ra0 (my first LAN device) - Select NO, i.e. no IPv6 - Select YES, i.e. DHCP --- I get an IP-address from the DHCP-Server, also a IPv4 gateway and a nameserver !!! but instead of going back to the menu I get an error message "Cannot resolv hostname ftp.freebsd.org" Wen I try this with FreeBSD-8.0-STABLE or FreeBSD-8.1-PRERELEASE-201006-amd64-bootonly.iso I get _no_ error message and all went fine. The problem is the same with the i386 ISOs.

Could you please cat /etc/resolv.conf and call netstat -nr on the holo shell after the failure occurs? Thanks, -Garrett

Sorry for being late, but I thought that I could write this to sysinstall@... That is what I wrote, 6 Month ago: The /etc/resolv.conf is empty. netstat -nr: Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire Internet6: Destination Gateway Flags Netif Expire fe80::%nfe0/64 link#1 U nfe0 fe80::201:2eff:fe23:1263%nfe0 link#1 UHS lo0 ff01:1::/32 fe80::201:2eff:fe23:1263%nfe0 U nfe0 ff02::%nfe0/32 fe80::201:2eff:fe23:1263%nfe0 U nfe0 On the ALT-F2 screen i get the following lines (I copied the lines by hand): DHCPDISCOVER on nfe0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 nfe0: link state changed to UP nfe0: link state changed to DOWN nfe0: link state changed to UP DHCPOFFER from 192.168.10.1 DHCPREQUEST on nfe0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK from 192.168.10.1 bound to 192.168.10.108 -- renewal in 3600 seconds -- the following lines appear after I close the "network-screen" just -- before I get the "Cannot resolv hostname ftp.freebsd.org" message DEBUG: Shutdown called for network device nfe0 DEBUG: ifconfig nfe0 down DEBUG: Deleting default route delete net default I tried the same in a VMware machine at work and got the same result. I have tried the last snapshot: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201008/FreeBSD-9.0-CURRENT-201008-amd64-bootonly.iso and I got the same results. The same with the FreeBSD-9.0-CURRENT-201101-amd64-bootonly.iso. /gT/
sysinstall has been replaced by bsdinstall in FreeBSD 9.x. Closing.
