Hello gurus,
I have an install.cfg file for an unattended setup.
I am using it from the msfroot.flp to install the system from scratch.
In a basic configuration (partition the hdd, install the bin distribution,
a few packages and reboot the system) it works pretty well.
However, I want to execute a small script before restarting the system .
I am using the "system" function in install.cfg. For testing purposes I
was trying to launch a shell with it.
[...]
installCommit
system /bin/sh
shutdown
Next time I ran sysinstall it gave me an error, saying that it cannot find
/bin/sh
Since the unattended mode stopped after this error, I've switched to tty4
and I checked the existence of /bin/sh and the shell was there.
Any ideas why it is not executing it?
Many thanks,
Florentin Albu
