I posted about my attempt to install FreeBSD a while ago; you can see my last message at http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=258395+0+archive/2002/freebsd-questions/20021027.freebsd-questions I was prompted by a suggestion sent to me personally to give FreeBSD one more try on this box, and I discovered something totally strange. I went through the install again, and before rebooting, used Ctrl-Alt-F4 to switch to the shell and investigate things. This is what I found: # df Filesystem 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/md0c 8439 5501 2854 66% / /dev/ad0s1a 257980 68528 168816 29% /mnt /mnt/dev/ad0s1f 515996 124 474596 0% /mnt/tmp /mnt/dev/ad0s1g 9192684 165416 8291856 2% /mnt/usr /mnt/dev/ad0s1e 2064284 224 1898920 0% /mnt/var /dev/acd0c 1249472 1249472 0 100% /dist # Ok, this looks straightforward. The target disk is mounted on /mnt and some stuff has been copied to each of the partitions. The CD I'm installing from is mounted on /dist. But when I try to see what's actually on /mnt: # ls -alR /mnt total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Oct 9 12:42 . drwxr-xr-x 17 root wheel 512 Oct 30 04:57 .. # Where are all the files? This is truly whack. Here's some more weirdness: # umount /mnt/dev/ad0s1e umount: unmount of /mnt/var failed: No such file or directory # Yet, another df will show the same table as above. Does anyone have any advice for me to try now? -- forrest@abstractfactory.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
