I updated to 5.0-current using the "." tag because I wanted SMP
support for our development AlphaServer 1200 that was otherwise
gathering dust.
I added some new disks and wanted to do a sysinstall to label and
newfs them. So running /usr/sbin/sysinstall built from the sources of
today sysinstall simply core dumps on the device probe section. I
tried adding a -g to cflags in its makefile but couldn't coax gdb
into spitting out anything more useful.
Here is what I get:
Probing devices, please wait (this can take a while)...Segmentation
fault (core dumped)
Based on the fact it seems to be dying inside a call to strtoul I'm
guessing its integer size related so it probably won't show on ix86.
If someone can direct me further I can do more to help in debugging
this...
