>Description:
I'm trying to install 6.1-BETA2 amd64 to my Pentium4 630 machine for test purpose.  I'm using 6.1-BETA2-amd64-bootonly.iso and tried to install via FTP.

I used "Custom" installation (as always) and create slices/partitions.
Then I selected to install all the distributions (including ports tree) 
via FTP, and committed the task.  

After the ports tree had been extracted, sysinstall said "Unable to get packages/INDEX from selected media" and stop installing.  Even I couldn't
escape from the message (RET/ESC key caused indefinite retry to get the file
and returned to the same message display).  C-c and CTRL/ALT/DEL didn't work.
I changed the ftp site to ftp.freebsd.org (primary) but it didn't work too.
I guess at least I can escape from the message.

Once I installed FreeBSD-5.4-BETA i386 with almost the identical way,
and there was no such problem.

>How-To-Repeat:
Boot with 6.1-BETA2-amd64-bootonly.iso and install FreeBSD with ordinary way.

>Fix:
Maybe it points wrong location?  I'm not sure.

 As it said in the beta 2 announcement, packages are not yet complete,
 so this is expected.  In fact I have now uploaded a partial set of
 packages, so if you were to try again in a day or so it will probably
 work.

 Thank you for your prompt reply and I'm so sorry... I saw ML messages
 about BETA2 on Opteron platform, so I wildly guessed basic packages
 (such as Perl) were already there....
 
 I'll try again a couple of day later.
