Hi there,

I tried to install the latest FreeBSD-9.0-CURRENT-201005-amd64-bootonly.iso.
FreeBSD is starting, sysinstall is running.
I want to install from ftp.freebsd.org. Therefor I try to set the _Media Typ_ in the _Options Editor_.
I select the only Network Interface, a nfe, no IP6 but DHCP. I get an IP address from my Router and then I get a
"Cannot resolv hostname ftp.freebsd.org".

This seems to happen with older snapshots also.

What could I do. What information did you need?

I forgot to add. Use CD1 for a base system.
You will also need to go into sysinstall and choose ftp passive mode. This can be done with the first reboot.
