freeBSD hangs during installation

xiongnu · 04-27-2015, 08:36 PM

hi,

i'm trying to install a fresh copy of freeBSD on my desktopPC. i created a USB bootable with latest 10.1 netinstall image.

during the installation, when the installer is fetching distribution, twice the system hangs after fetching 98% of base.txz.

my network is stable and i used the wired cable to the PC.

any help/suggestions?

It could be the network stalled temporarily.

Personally I've never used the netinstall.

after 3 hours and 3 failed installations last night, I found this thread:

it seems that the ftp transfer is broken, after I specified using http protocol instead of ftp, installation went through.
