>Description:
I tried to install 9.0-current with the bootonly ISO but I get a "Cannot resolv hostname ftp.freebsd.org" error.

So I am not able to install 9.0-current on any of my machines (AMD and Intel-CPUs, but both quad-cores).

/gT/
>How-To-Repeat:
I have tried ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201005/FreeBSD-9.0-CURRENT-201006-amd64-bootonly.iso and all the other 9.0-current ISOs from 201001, 201002, 201004 and 201005.

This is what I have done:
- Booting from CD
- Select Region Germany
- Select german keyboard
- Select "Begin a custom installation"
- Select "View/Set various installation options"
- Select "Media Type"
- Select "Install from a FTP server"
- Select "ftp.freebsd.org"
- Select ra0 (my first LAN device)
- Select NO, i.e. no IPv6
- Select YES, i.e. DHCP
--- I get an IP-address from the DHCP-Server, also a  IPv4 gateway and a  nameserver
!!! but instead of going back to the menu I get an error message "Cannot resolv hostname ftp.freebsd.org"

Wen I try this with FreeBSD-8.0-STABLE or FreeBSD-8.1-PRERELEASE-201006-amd64-bootonly.iso I get _no_ error message and all went fine.

The problem is the same with the i386 ISOs.

 Could you please cat /etc/resolv.conf and call netstat -nr on the holo
 shell after the failure occurs?
 Thanks,

 Sorry for being late, but I thought that I could write this to 
 sysinstall@...
 
 That is what I wrote, 6 Month ago:
 
 The /etc/resolv.conf is empty.
 
 
 netstat -nr:
 
 Routing tables
 
 Internet:
 Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use  Netif Expire
 
 Internet6:
 Destination                       Gateway                       
 Flags      Netif Expire
 fe80::%nfe0/64                    link#1                        
 U          nfe0
 fe80::201:2eff:fe23:1263%nfe0     link#1                        
 UHS         lo0
 ff01:1::/32                       fe80::201:2eff:fe23:1263%nfe0 
 U          nfe0
 ff02::%nfe0/32                    fe80::201:2eff:fe23:1263%nfe0 
 U          nfe0
 
 
 
 On the ALT-F2 screen i get the following lines (I copied the lines by 
 hand):
 
 DHCPDISCOVER on nfe0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
 nfe0: link state changed to UP
 nfe0: link state changed to DOWN
 nfe0: link state changed to UP
 DHCPOFFER from 192.168.10.1
 DHCPREQUEST on nfe0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
 DHCPACK from 192.168.10.1
 bound to 192.168.10.108 -- renewal in 3600 seconds
     -- the following lines appear after I close the "network-screen"  just
     -- before I get the "Cannot resolv hostname ftp.freebsd.org" message
 
 DEBUG: Shutdown called for network device nfe0
 DEBUG: ifconfig nfe0 down
 DEBUG: Deleting default route
 delete net default
 
 
 I tried the same in a VMware machine at work and got the same result.
 
 I have tried the last snapshot:
  
 ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201008/FreeBSD-9.0-CURRENT-201008-amd64-bootonly.iso 
 
 and I got the same results.
 
 The same with the FreeBSD-9.0-CURRENT-201101-amd64-bootonly.iso.
