Works on my Ultra 60, however fails on Ultra AXe. After guided
partitioning and initializing, "checking distribution archives.."
flashes by (I assume the error is here) and I get "Extract error
Error while extracting kernel.tgz Unrecognized archive format"
I'm new to FreeBSD, but successfully installed 8.2 on the AXe a
few days ago.
Thanks and regards,
