I'm new to the list (and to sparc64 in general), but I wanted to congratulate you all on getting FreeBSD on sparc64 to Tier 1 quality in such a short amount of time, and on the progress that continues to be made. I recently inherited an Ultra 5 box at work and (naturally) am installing FreeBSD on it. Not having a serial console handy, I was pleased to see that the 6.0-BETA1 CD boots with a usable console. I went through the setup process as usual, configuring my disks as follows: ad0b 768M swap ad0a ~8G / +S ad1 ~40G /squid After selecting my distributions and media (CDROM), I got the "Last chance!" warning. Instead of starting the install at that point, it failed with consecutive errors about not finding / or swap. Nothing was printed to the debug console, but the disks were simply not touched. After running sunlabel and newfs manually from the fixit shell, the installation went smoothly. Any ideas? I didn't see any PR's that looked relevant, so I was wondering if I should submit one. Am I omitting any relevant details? Thanks, JN
