To: freebsd-hackers@freefall.cdrom.com (FreeBSD) Date: Mon, 5 Jun 1995 01:39:17 -0700 (PDT) Cc: jkh@freebsd.org X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 1201 Sender: hackers-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk (1) Cosmetic: during extract the status bar extends past the its bounding box (at 100% extracted). (2) Serious: The mount point /dos was include in /etc/fstab for my ms-dos partition, but the directory /dos was not created. First boot from sd0 drops into single-user mode because of this problem. (3) FTP install of srelease sources aborts because of a problem with srelease.ab. This is probably due to the constant state of change with ALPHA and sysinstall. (4) Selection of installing the binary distribution and source WITHOUT games. The game sources were retrieved and extracted (no binaries thankfully). (5) disklabel.hlp is definitely needed. (6) Kernel hangs during reboot from hardware because of the 3c509 and conflicts with other devices. I got to the message "Changing root to sd0" meesage then a hang. Fix by booting -c and disabling everything at 0x300. This should be added to the hardware.hlp file. -- Steven G.
