@ -51,6 +51,34 @@ Fix: Assuming that you experience this problem at all, edit /etc/rc.conf
be set in the network_interfaces variable after initial installation,
it's reasonable to simply s/auto/lo0/ in rc.conf and move on.
<strong>The 3.3 ISO image (and 3.3 CDROM #1 from Walnut Creek CDROM)
mysteriously fails to boot on an ATAPI CDROM device but works
with SCSI CDROMs (on adaptors which support bootable CDs).</strong>
Fix: Either install using boot floppies (see floppies/README.TXT)
rather than booting from the CDROM or grab the updated ISO image
from:
<a href="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/">ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/</a>
See also the CHECKSUM.MD5 file in that directory to verify whether
you have the "old" or new image - some mirrors may be slow
in picking up the uncompressed and gzipped versions of the ISO 9660
installation image. As always, Walnut Creek CDROM will also provide
replacement CDs (once they become available) on request to purchasers
of the 3.3-RELEASE product.
This problem was caused by a bug in mkisofs which we're still
chasing but have, for now, simply worked-around.
<strong>Ppp(8) does not properly detect carrier in direct mode.</strong>
Fix: Download and install the latest version of ppp(8) from:
<a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/~brian/">http://www.FreeBSD.org/~brian/</a> (US)
<a href="http://www.Awfulhak.org/~brian/">http://www.Awfulhak.org/~brian/</a> (UK)
or upgrade your system to -stable.
