>Organization:
Dept. of Computer Science, SUNY Albany
>Environment:
FreeBSD slowpoke@cs.albany.edu 3.4  Release #4
Monday Dec 20 07:52:26 GMT 1999
jkh@time.cdrom.com /usr/src/sys/compile/bootmfs i386
>Description:
I pulled down the boot disk and mfs disk from www.freebsd.org about
1 week ago (from the 4.0 distribution, although apparently the 3.0
distribution is used for the initial boot).  I then did an install,
and basically said yes to a fairly large number of packages.
The /mnt/var file system ran out of Inodes (which was probably set
by the automatic disk partitioning strategy of the installation script).
>How-To-Repeat:
See the full description, just say yes to every package (although I
did not say yes to japanese, korean or chinese language support related
packages).
>Fix:
Have mkfs give a more reasonable default for the automatic disk
partitioning option in the installation.
