The error message suggests an NFS problem, but when I do the commit a second time it goes through , it installs everything, but the thing won't boot after all. It keeps on displaying (loop) : F1 . . . BSD Default : F1 I think it is because the first commit doesn't copy a mandatory piece. But I can't find a way around it. Any idea ? Some more detail : the error message says that it can't mount <hostname>:/mnt on /dist. (/mnt and /mnt/dists are exported, though !) Thanks /Roger.
