>Description:
During the installation of FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE, I noticed the following after I had pressed ALT+F2 to switch to channel 2:

# chown: root.operator: Invalid argument

I've also noticed this during the installation of the 5.1-RELEASE and 5.4-RELEASE series of FreeBSD as well. The system that FreeBSD 6.0 is being installed on, as with 5.0 releases is a:

   1. Pentium II 233 MHZ
   2. 96 MB PC-66 SDREAM
   3.  HP CD-RW ReWritable Plus!
       3.1. 2GB IBM SCSI2 HD
       3.2. 2GB IBM SCSI2 HD
       3.3. 4GB IBM SCSI2 HD
       3.4. 2GB IBM SCSI2 HD
   4. SiS 2632(?) Video (AGP/DVD)
   5. NETGEAR FA310TX (10/100 LAN)

The FreeBSD releases have been installed multiple times because I am trying to find one that best suites that specific system.
>How-To-Repeat:
During the installation from CD/DVD-ROM.
