	5.2-RC1 install floppies

>Description:
	5.2-RC1 failed to install from NFS. Message is:

	Error Mounting FreeBSD4.9:/scratch/FreeBSD on /dist invalid argument
	or
	Error Mounting FreeBSD4.9:/scratch/FreeBSD on /dist no such file or directory
	I have tries different machines and different networks, and they
	all failed. After NFS failure, choose FTP as installation media
	will be successful; so it fails at NFS mounting phase.

	Also, after ctrl-C "^C", Menu asks continue "Yes" or "No";
	where no reponse on clicking on "Yes" , and clicking on "No"
	will continue to next directory and repeat for every directory.
	It seems that if /dist is not mounted, things should never
	preceed.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Boot from installation floppies and choose media -- NFS
	for installation.

>Fix:
