Hello,

    I've searched the mailing lists and found others with this issue, but 
haven't found a solution yet - can someone point me in the right direction 
please?

    When using an install.cfg file with 5.2.1-RELEASE, I get:
             Unable to find device node for /dev/ad0s1b in /dev!
             The creation of filesystems will be aborted.

    Even if I set the DiskInteractive variable before running the DiskLabel 
editor, the above error still appears.


    Here is my install.cfg file:
installVarDefaults

debug=yes
# Networking Options
hostname=geo
domainname=domain.com
nameserver=192.168.0.254
defaultrouter=192.168.0.254
ipaddr=192.168.0.201
netmask=255.255.255.0
netDev=fxp0
# Install Media Options
mediaSetCDROM
# Distribution Selection
distSetKernDeveloper
# Partitioning
disk=ad0
partition=all
bootManager=boot
diskPartitionEditor
diskPartitionWrite
ad0s1-1=ufs 524288 /
ad0s1-2=swap 131072 none
ad0s1-3=ufs 524288 /var
ad0s1-4=ufs 0 /usr
# Even commenting out the above and uncomminting the below, install still 
fails.
#diskInteractive=yes
diskLabelEditor
diskLabelCommit
installCommit


    Thanks in advance for your help,
Ivan Fetch.
