Unable to get fetch expat-2.0.0._1 from selected media

[Matthew Pope]

Addendum (clarification) to my question:
- When I boot from the Hard disk, and start /stand/sysinstall with FTP1 
as the source (since CDROM as source doesn't work), when the Xorg 
packages are attempted to be added, the download from the FTP server 
completes but at the end a quick error messages flashes, and then in its 
place a message is emitted:
"add of package expat-2.0.0_1 aborted, error code 1 -
Please check the debug screen for more info."
The same message is repeated for these libraries:
perl-5.8.8
xorg-manpages-6.9.0
xorg-documents-6.9.0
xorg-fonts-encodings-6.9.0_1
Thanks,
Matthew
P.S. Where is the debug screen?
