Well yes that happenes, I verified it by running mount from the holographic shell on ttyv3. My 2.2-960501-SNAP dir exists on /dev/wd1s1e and was mounted as /usr/home. For the life of me, after setting the media type to ufs and the dir to /mnt/usr/home, /mnt/usr/home/2.2-960501-SNAP, /usr/home, /usr/home/2.2-960501-SNAP, all at different times of course, sysinstall could not find it's required files. I had high debugging output on, and I would see bin/bin.aa, failed, etc. Now if the drive is mounted as /mnt/usr/home, than shouldn't a request for (when my media is ufs and dir /mnt/usr/home/2.2-960501-SNAP) bin/bin.aa work? I promise I wasn't smoking anything while doing this, I tried everything, even the upgrade option, and I had to settle with cat /mnt/usr/home/2.2-960501-SNAP/bin/bin.?? | gzip -cd | cpio -idmv :( While it worked, it was a pain in the ass. == Chris Layne ======================================== Nervosa Computing == == coredump@nervosa.com ================ http://www.nervosa.com/~coredump ==
