>Description:
This seems to be an old bug that still exists today as Google resulted in a discussion about a bug in the sysinstall during FreeBSD 4 (can't find it at this right moment though, but i did see it).

I seem to be getting the following error right after I start downloading:

create/symlink failed, no inodes free

It keeps downloading however that error is displayed across the screen.

This only happens though when I do the following.
1. Start the installation as normal via CD
3. Configure the disk with FreeBSD sysinstall defaults (/, swap, /var, /tmp, /usr)
2. Media is FTP
3. When attempting to contact the FTP (example: ftp1.freebsd.org) hit escape and then hit Restart so that the installation program restarts (not abort).

Now do the same thing over again.
Configure disk -> select package(s) -> media and start and at this point it will fail.

I can repeat this every single time on multiple systems. I only discovered it after I accidentally mistyped my gateway address.


>How-To-Repeat:
              1. Start the installation as normal via CD
3. Configure the disk with FreeBSD sysinstall defaults (/, swap, /var, /tmp, /usr)
2. Media is FTP
3. When attempting to contact the FTP (example: ftp1.freebsd.org) hit escape and then hit Restart so that the installation program restarts (not abort).

Now do the same thing over again.
Configure disk -> select package(s) -> media and start and at this point it will fail.
>Fix:
Completely reboot the computer and then start the installation from beginning seems to be the fix.
