>Originator:     peter bartoli
>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
Science Applications International Corporation
>Environment:

plain old x86 box - nothing special; works fine most of the time

>Description:

while using the upgrade option, the first attempt to ftp connect bombed out
with an error "0" (usually no error, right?) ... but it dumped me back out to
the main menu immediately afterwards.  however, it had already mounted the
file systems, and when i went through the installer options again, it remounted
everything *again*, only under /mnt/mnt (the root filesystem was mounted on top
of itself!), and the installer installed everything under /mnt.

>How-To-Repeat:

try to install from a really, really busy ftp server (my guess as to the error
generated).  when it fails, try to do the installation again, but without
rebooting.

>Fix:

rm -rf /mnt/* and install over again.
or, during installation (if it happens), use the emergency shell to umount
everything before proceeding a second time.
