I've managed to source upgrade from 8.2 to 9.0 as well, and found that the 9.0 kernel (/dev/cd0) silently corrupts data when reading from CDROM, while the 8.2 kernel (/dev/acd0) didn't. Not being able to install 9.0 from CDROM is just a consequence of this bug in 9.0's /dev/cd0. There's probably some bug(s) lurking there, that is(are) only triggered on big endian machines. > -Kurt Thanks, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
