The function installFilesystems() calls MakeDevChunk() of lib/libdisk/create_chunk.c, which then calls mknod(2) via MakeDev(). The error message I see come from MakeDev() which, after mknod(2) failure, says: mknod of /dev/rad0a1b returned failure status! Typing `mount' from fixit shell, the install kernel of the Octover 2nd's snapshot has devfs enabled. I could start installation with the snapshot of September 11, with which devfs seems to be disabled (I do not see "devfs on /dev (devfs, local)" by typing `mount' on the fixit shell). Is there any way to install current with recent snapshots' install floppies? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
