I'm trying to install the latest -CURRENT snapshot on a PC which won't boot any other FreeBSD CD (any other ISO I found is missing the recent nVidia MCP55 ATA fixes). After slicing/labeling, and chosing the distribution to install, sysinstall fails with a '/ disk full' error (ALT-F2 reveals that it was trying to copy /stand to /mnt/stand) Some more info: using sysinstall I created two slices, ad4s1 (10GB) FAT, ad4s2 (30GB) FreeBSD. Then, inside ad4s2, I created a root FS (5GB) a swap partition (3GB) and a /usr FS (the remainder of the slice 22GB) I've not assigned any mountpoint to ad4s1 (the FAT partition). The newfs and bootloader install was seemingly successfull (indeed, after a reboot the existing filesystems are recognized). Is there something other I should try? How could I use the fix-it console to manually install the tarballs? One more 'cosmetic'. I tried also installing on the slices created on a previous attempt (without forcing a newfs in disklabel), and sysinstall warned me that it was operating on a existing root filesystem, where it expected to find the necessary /dev entries: Is this message still valid now that /dev is a virtual filesystem? Thanks for attention, Angelo Turetta Modena - ItalyReceived on Fri Aug 11 2006 - 12:40:21 UTC
