X-Bogosity: No, tests=bogofilter, spamicity=0.000000, version=0.17.5 I'm trying to do an unattended install of FreeBSD 5.2.1. If I don't include the 'shutdown' command at the end of the install.cfg file, the install works fine, but I have to manually reboot the machine after the install, which is no good for an unattended install. If I do include 'shutdown', then it appears that the disk does not unmount properly before the reboot. The console displays "syncing disks, buffers remaining". Normally I would expect a few numbers to be printed, followed by a reboot a second later. This what happens if the reboot is performed manually from the sysinstall menu. But when the reboot is performed automatically, after "syncing disks" it says: "WARNING - WRITE_DMA interrupt was seen but timeout fired LBA" and then prints the same number (e.g. 161) over and over again for several lines. After about 5 seconds the system reboots, but the new installation has errors on the filesystem and requires me to manually run fsck. This is no good for an unattended installation. Is there anyway to reboot the system from the install.cfg file and have it unmount cleanly? -- Richard _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" ----- End forwarded message -----
