I use FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT on several experimental systems. I try to test new diskless and picobsd facilities and abilities of the newest FBSD 5.0-CURRENT stuff and I am a little bit disappointed. First there is a little bug in the picobsd shell-script/command: newfs does no longer support option '-p', so this runs into a failure. When buidling a picobsd image I get this error: ---snap *** init_fs_image() /usr/src/release/picobsd/build_dir-bastion/fs.PICOBSD 8192 *** Labeling MFS image *** Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/md1c 7983 0 7983 0% /var/tmp/picobsd.S98gZK4mQz *** Copy mfs tree into file *** Status of mfs image Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused Mounted on /dev/md1c 7983 1458 6525 18% 81 1069 7% /var/tmp/picobsd.S98gZK4mQz fsck: exec /usr/sbin/fsck_4.2BSD for /dev/md1c: No such file or directory Warning: creating filesystem that does not conform to ISO-9660. --- snap The last warning is due to several special mkisofs options that are not conform. Important is the failure of building the MFS filesystem. It seems that /dev/md1c is really present, but when fsck tries to check it, it gets an error. I have a similar error on diskless boot process in FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT, where obviously no memory disk can be created. Can someon verify or falsify these oberservations? Thanks a lot ...
