All appears to go well, for a while. Then, the screen : gets covered by graphics chars, and I get blown back to #. Sounds strange ... that doesn't seem to be the regular way of installing freebsd ...

Or did you forget to use binary mode when ftp'ing those binary files ... Perhaps you tell more verbose what you did and say something about release numbers ... Thanks.
