Description bartsch 2012-08-21 14:00:28 UTC 
sysinstall is not able to locate the distribution files on a nfs mounted DVD iso image (FreeBSD-8.3) with default settings.
The directory containing the distribution files on the dvd is named "8.3_release", the default setting of sysinstall (options screen) is "8.3-RELEASE".

Fix: 

rename the "Release Name" enty in the options screen of sysinstall to "8.3_RELEASE"

sysinstall has been replaced by bsdinstall in FreeBSD 9.x. Closing.
