>Description:
Downloaded /bin /catpages /floppies from 4.1-RELEASE directory from
ftp3.freebsd.org.  

Perform installation (custom) Problem is that the 3.1 Kernel gets installed instead of the 4.1 kernel and the /etc/fstab entries are 
all /dev/adxxx.  But the 3.1 requires /dev/wdxxxx.  But why is the 
3.1 kernel being installed.  I have checked and downloaded the 4.1-RELEASE distributions and boot disks twice.  I cannot boot the new
system because of this problem
stuff twice.  
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Well, the 4.1 kernel could be installed and that would do it.

 Used FTP install this time from ftp.freebsd.com and all worked correctly.
 However, I suspect the ftp3.freebsd.com mirror may be incorrect since, like
 I
 say, I did download the 4.1-RELEASE stuff twice for a DOS Partition install,
 and
 in both cases, it appears as though the 3.1 bin distribution was applied
 instead
 of the 4.1 bin distribution.

 For the installation that failed, were you using an existing
 /stand/sysinstall from a previous installation, or were you using
 sysinstall as loaded from the floppies supplied with the release?
 
 Ciao,
 Sheldon.

 Sorry for the delayed reply.  I am quite certain that I dowloaded
 the floppies as well as the bin distribution and made new floppies.

 There is a small, but non-zero, chance that there was a problem w/ the
 files on ftp3.freebsd.org.  That machine has been/is having disk space
 problems, and ftp3 has been temporarily transferred to ftp10 until some
 upgrades are finished.  If no one can replicate this problem, I'd
 scratch it up to a problem w/ the mirror on ftp3 at the time.
