I need to understand the environment in which this is happening a bit better before I can contemplate what might be wrong. Can you answer the following questions: In what order did you create the file systems? Was there already a GPT on the disk and did it had partitions? What do you mean with only "?/?" is mounted? > Using the fixit shell, /etc/fstab doesn?t even contain > an entry for ?/?. /etc/fstab doesn't contain the file systems you're creating with sysinstall. A proper fstab is created last on the to-be root file system (which is not the same as the root file system used by sysintall). HTH, -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net
