Problem installing FreeBSD 4.4 to an Intel machine.
Doing the CD install, I got through everything fine, fdisk etc, wrote all the file system information successfully, started the emergency shell on tty4, then gave me: "Error mounting /dev/acd0c on /dist: No such file for directory"
I tried the floppy install and got: "Error mounting floppy fd0 (/dev/fd0) on /dist: No such file for directory "

Hmm.  We'll need to investigate this for 4.7.  The larger freebsd-qa 
list is ideal to assign installation bugs to.

 Regarding this error, I have followed up with the reporter of over a year 
 ago and he has moved on to some other solution since the error was never 
 fixed.  I reported this same bug in June of 2003 and see no entry for it or 
 my report added to his.  I sent in another report just last week, again no 
 reply.  This bug has been around for many releases now and is causing 
 others to seek alternative solutions.  Can't install from a CD?  Come on 
 guys, even DOS could do that.
 
 The frustrating thing is that the CD boots, configures but once you confirm 
 the install it gives the error that it can't mount /dev/acd0c on 
 /dist.  Sounds like a kernel config problem to me.  Is there an online work 
 around?  See my report to qa@.
 
 Thanks
 
 Paul

This bug was reported against the FreeBSD 4.4 installer, which is quite 
old now.
