>Environment:
FreeBSD harlot.karkalis.com 4.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE #0: Thu Jul 27 04:44:16 GMT 2000    root@usw4.freebsd.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386
>Description:
When choosing "ftp via http proxy" as the media type, the installation program asks for appropriate fields, sets up the network variables, and then jumps into the downloading. However, none of the drive partitioning or labelling seems to have occurred.
>How-To-Repeat:
Simply reinstall by selecting the same media type.
>Fix:
Workaround: select the standard ftp option and setup a bunch of things here. When it fails, I then select "ftp via http proxy" again and it seems to work. My guess is that some variables are being set using the unsuccessful "ftp" media install which are then used somehow.
