System: FreeBSD 4.10-BETA #1: Wed Feb 11 14:33:03 PST 2004


	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.
