[snip] Newer floppies did some improvement on the installation process. However, FTP and NFS install partially works only if: I goto UFS install and out of the shell provided (fortunately, this seems to be the only way getting out of the install script temporarily), manually configure 'ifconfig' and 'route' and create /etc/hosts with appropriate IP and hostname. Previous basic network setup like asking hostname, domainname, IP address of the host, etc. disappeared. I have SCSI tape drive with SCSI ID 2. I could not go with TAPE install menu. Do I have to configure ID with 1 ? I've seen some comment on this from FAQ.
