These were all picked up on the Alpha but I believe most are generic problems. 1) Ctrl-C breaks into sysinstall rather than killing the running process. 2) Running fsck reports: Fixit# fsck /dev/da0[ade] fstab: /etc/fstab:0: No such file or directory fstab: /etc/fstab:0: No such file or directory fsck: exec fsck_4.2bsd for /dev/da0a in /sbin:/usr/sbin: No such file or directory fstab: /etc/fstab:0: No such file or directory fstab: /etc/fstab:0: No such file or directory fsck: exec fsck_4.2bsd for /dev/da0d in /sbin:/usr/sbin: No such file or directory fstab: /etc/fstab:0: No such file or directory fstab: /etc/fstab:0: No such file or directory fsck: exec fsck_4.2bsd for /dev/da0e in /sbin:/usr/sbin: No such file or directory Explicitly using fsck_ffs works OK. 3) "mount 192.168.123.200:/back /mnt" reports: boot_crunch: nfs not compiled in usage: boot_crunch ..., where is one of: hostname pwd rm sh -sh test [ cpio dhclient fsck_ffs ifconfig mount_nfs newfs route rtsol slattach tunefs camcontrol find minigzip gzip gunzip zcat sed arp ppp sysinstall usbd usbdevs boot_crunch Fixit# Again, using /sbin/mount_nfs works OK. 3) tar doesn't work. tar is a symlink to /usr/bin/bsdtar which doesn't exist. The symlink needs to be relative rather than absolute. -- Peter Jeremy
