>Description:
The installation floppies for 4.0-RELEASE (kern.flp, mfsroot.flp) found in /pub/FreeBSD/releases/alpha/4.0-RELEASE/floppies have 4.0-CURRENT in the options.  This naturally makes it a bit harder to install FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE since the base bin/doc/etc files aren't in that directory.

>Fix:
Workaround is to go into options from sysinstall and change the OS version tag from 4.0-CURRENT to 4.0-RELEASE.  The install works as expected from that point onwards.

   This naturally makes it a bit harder to install FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE since the
  base bin/doc/etc files aren't in that directory.

State-Changed-When: Mon Jan 15 12:35:27 PST 2001 
State-Changed-Why:  
Given that we are at 4.2-Release now keeping this PR open does 
not seem useful anymore. 4.2-R has good floppies IIRC from 
installing my Multia.
