There seems to be a recurrent problem, at least in 6.1, of sysinstall not installing the kernel: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-May/122261.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-June/124096.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-August/129613.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-August/129632.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-August/129659.html Has there been any thought of adding some basic sanity checks to sysinstall, and at least prompting for confirmation in cases like * About to newfs the root partition, but the selections to be installed do not include the kernel. * A partition is not large enough to contain everything which the current selections will try to install on it.
