Hello,

I found and patched a bug in sysinstall(8). My system is running GENERIC
8.1-BETA1 on i386. Initial install went well, but after the system booted I
wanted to add some other distributions. However, every time I attempted to
connect to an ftp server sysinstall would crash and dump core. I traced the
problem down to some uninitialized variables in tcpip.c:tcpDeviceSelect.
Attached is my patch.

Thanks,

Nick Mills
