I used /usr/src/release/Makefile.sysinstall to cut myself a legacy installe= r for the 9.0 branch ... a sysinstall(8) installer versus the new bsdinstal= l installer cut from /usr/src/release/Makefile. When all was said and done (sysinstall crunched into boot_crunch using /usr= /src/release/i386/boot_crunch.conf), sysinstall(8) is for some reason writi= ng GPT labels even though it never has done so before. I'll go into sysinstall's disk partition editor, lay down a legacy filesyst= em, write it out, and then look at /dev to find that it didn't create /dev/= ada0s* but instead /dev/ada0p* (what's worse is that gpart subsequently sho= ws GPT but with "[CORRUPT]" next to it). This is completely hampering my ability to use sysinstall(8) as-built from = RELENG_9 to install RELENG_9. I'm left wondering if something changed in devfs or in libdisk. --=20 Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidentia= l.
