>Description:
i've tryed both i386 and amd64, i went and download ISO (compared MD5) seems fine comparing against your website.

i also tryed ISO and installation through FTP, both end up with same message in second debug window (ALT+F2) 

mv: /boot/GENERIC /boot/kernel :No such file or directory

and once I try to reboot server I end up with following:

BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01
Consoles: internal video/keyboard
BIOS drive C: is disk0
BIOS 640kB/3406496kB available memory

FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1
(root@bloom.cse.buffalo.edu, Sun May 7 02:16:38 UTC 2006)
Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf
Unable to load a kernel!
/
can't load 'kernel'

Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK

if i type "ls"
i see all my directories
if i type ls /boot/kernel
i get
open '/boot/kernel/' failed:no such file or directory.

>How-To-Repeat:
installed few times through FTP, ISO i386 and amd64
>Fix:
n/a

State-Changed-Why:  
This is believed to be fixed with the following commit: 

1.245     +1 -1      src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/dist.c 
1.370     +2 -0      src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/install.c 
1.273     +1 -0      src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/sysinstall.h 

It has been merged to the RELENG_6 branch for 6.2-RELEASE. 

As a workaround, make sure that you select a distribution from 
the distributions menu when doing your installation.
