#339: Internet installation from bootonly CD not working<br>
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------<br>
Reporter: njurkeit | Owner: kris<br>
Type: System Defect | Status: new<br>
Priority: major | Milestone:<br>
Component: Installer | Version: 8.1<br>
Keywords: |<br>
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------<br>
After entering IP address, netmask, nameserver and gateway in<br>
Sysinstaller, a dialog box appears where installation from internet is<br>
greyed out.<br>
<br>
A check within xterm reveals that neither the IP address is assigned to<br>
the interface nor the default route is set (only nameserver in<br>
/etc/resolv.conf is ok). After fixing this manually the internet option<br>
can be selected, an URL is displayed and setup can be continued up to the<br>
point where download should begin.<br>
<br>
Then Sysinstaller exits with an error message, probably again due to<br>
problems with the network setup. This time I don't have an idea how to<br>
proceed.<br>
<br>
Installation was attempted in a Virtualbox guest. An older PC-BSD version<br>
is already running fine there.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>The problem referenced in Ticket #339 is likely limited to VirtualBox installs. VirtualBox does not use the same IP address, netmask, or gateway as the host machine. Whereas the host machine uses the hardware router's gateway address and subnet mask and the IP assigned by DHCP (or a given static IP), the virtual machine creates a totally different network IP, gateway, and subnet. My guess is that the user may be attempting to configure the virtual machine with the host machine's settings.<br>
