Description sperber 2001-11-29 14:40:00 UTC 
When I install 4.4-RELEASE via ftp, and something goes wrong
with the net connection (i.e. the cable gets unplugged, the router
goes down, etc.) sysinstall times out.  During that time, I would
like to interrupt the transfer via C-c so I can try something else.
When I do that, VT2 duly reports "User generated interrupt"
but nothing happens.

Fix: 

Wait quite a long time :-)
How-To-Repeat: Install via ftp.  During the transfer, pull the net connection,
press C-c.

This is a really annoying bug.  I will look into this and come up with 
a fix before FreeBSD 4.5.
