I had this exact same problem on 2.2R. Here's the workaround: 1) mount -t msdos /dev/<your DOS disk> /<a mount point> 2) run /stand/sysinstall and specify your media as 'Existing file system' and point it at your <mount point>/<where your FreeBSD stuff is> e.g. in my case mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /cfat Existing file system == /cfat/FreeBSD On Sun, 23 Mar 1997 whiz-kidz@pcisys.net wrote: > > >Number: 3070 > >Category: misc > >Synopsis: Cannot do post install mods to UNIX from DOS partition > >Confidential: no > >Severity: critical > >Priority: high > >Responsible: freebsd-bugs > >State: open > >Class: support > >Submitter-Id: current-users > >Arrival-Date: Sun Mar 23 12:20:03 PST 1997 > >Last-Modified: > >Originator: Art Minneman > >Organization: > Whiz Kidz International > >Release: 2.1.7 > >Environment: > >Description: > I do not have a "compatible" CDROM and am loading bsd as per para 2.1 and have made a FREEBSD directory on my C and D drives (both recognized by the bsd system as wsd0 and wsd1). After logging into UNIX as "root" I do a "/stand/sysinstall" command and tell the system that I want to set media. I set the media to the hard drive and then tell the system that I want to install packages, whereupon I am told that the system cannot find /packages/index and that is that. > >How-To-Repeat: > > >Fix: > > >Audit-Trail: > >Unformatted: > >
