I'm running a FreeBSD system behind a firewall no DHCP (manual config) and router is also nameserver.
Now while setting up a second system from 7.1-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso the hostname of the choosen ftp server cannot be resolved.
I tried "Install from an FTP server" and "Install from an FTP server through a firewall" and with firewall disabled. All cases result in timeout. Pings are possible to the new system.
The network configuration entered is the exactly same as on the running freeBSD system (of course other ip number). When I enter the nameserver of the ISP instead of the router (as nameserver) the hostname also cannot be resolved.
Afterwards the installation falls in the loop of these two error messages no matter of YES or NO choosen:
"Unable to open base/base/.inf: I/O error.. Reinitialize media?" YES/NO
"Unable to transfer the base distribution from (null). Do you want to try to retrieve it again?" YES/NO
Loop must be stopped with pushing manual reset.
