FreeBSD 4.10-BETA
>Description:
4.10-BETA installation floppies failed to install system.
Everything is mounted from a FreeBSD server, but installation
failed at update /var/db/mounttab:
Press F2-key to see:
mount_nfs: failed to update /var/db/mounttab
Also, at this point, installation loops forever in following
sequences:
...... Do you want to retry
YES NO
If answering YES, nothing happens (keeping loop)
If answer NO, it says:
doc/doc.aa not found
press enter or space
both ENTER and SPACE key will invoke umount, which failed
at:
umount_nfs: failed to update /var/db/mounttab
umount_nfs: failed to update /var/db/mounttab
umount_nfs: failed to update /var/db/mounttab
umount_nfs: failed to update /var/db/mounttab
and loops forever.
This should have either retry or start over again,
so user can choice start over to use FTP for installation.
