I booted 5.2-20040531-SNAP-ia64 without trouble, and used the following
partition layout:
da0p1 / 512MB UFS2 Y
da0p2 swap 4096MB SWAP
da0p3 /efi 256MB EFI Y
da0p4 /usr 29868MB UFS2+S Y
During the install process, I got the following error message:
Error mounting /mnt/dev/da0p3 on /mnt/efi : Invalid argument
Other than that, the install (minimal) seemed to go just fine. I figured
I'd manually build /efi, so I dropped into a fixit shell after the
installation finished. Here's what I found:
# mount
/dev/md0 on / (ufs, local)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/da0p1 on /mnt (ufs, asynchronous, local, noatime)
devfs on /mnt/dev (devfs, local)
/mnt/dev/da0p4 on /mnt/usr (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)
/dev/acd0 on /dist (cd9660, local, read-only)
# df -k /mnt
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/da0p1 253678 172662 60722 74% /mnt
# ls -al /mnt
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 May 29 06:07 .
drwxr-xr-x 20 root wheel 512 Jun 7 20:29 ..
This really does not look right to me....
I tried copying the /efi tree from the snapshot image to /dev/da0p3, but
that doesn't seem to have gotten me anywhere, as I still can't find the
boot hierarchy in EFI.
Any ideas as far as what's gone wrong and how I can fix it?
Cheers /gdm
