Hello folks,
I have access to an Alpha 164SX now and tried to install 5.4 RELEASE
onto it. I hooked up an IDE drive and the install is booted from a SCSI
CDROM hooked up to an Adaptec 2940UW controller.
Everything is coming up fine, however, choosing a standard install
represents me with the disk label editor and there are no disks from
which I can choose.
I did hook up a very old SCSI disk and was presented with a choice
between ad0 and da0, but the label editor was just as empty.
Just like this
FreeBSD Disklabel Editor
Part Mount Size Newfs Part Mount Size Newfs
---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- -----
The following commands are valid here (upper or lower case):
C = Create D = Delete M = Mount pt.
N = Newfs Opts Q = Finish S = Toggle SoftUpdates Z = Custom Newfs
T = Toggle Newfs U = Undo A = Auto Defaults R = Delete+Merge
Use F1 or ? to get more help, arrow keys to select.
pressing some buttons then resulted in a signal 11 when I hit 'R'

A signal 11 was caught - I'm saving what I can and shutting
down. If you can reproduce the problem, please turn Debug on
in the Options menu for the extra information it provides
in debugging problems like this.

running bsdlabel from the fixit shell worked just as it is supposed to,
but I had to
export EDITOR=/dist/rescue/vi
and the '*' special keyword works perfectly for offset, but not for
size. It will give a partition extends past end of unit error.
However, I can't set any mountpoints and I don't want to install by
hand. So, what's up with sysinstall? Horribly broken?
