Anyhow, I just ran 3.2-BETA (which SHOULD be stable), and hit a show stopper right after boot. I did a custom install (starting clean), went through the normal menus to set it up for an FTP install. Distributions were binaries, and a few others, but I don't think thats relevant to the problem. When I commited, it died claiming it couldn't make the parition enteries in /dev. Switching to the debug screen, the last few enteries were: DEBUG: Scanning disk wd0 for root filesystem DEBUG: Scanning disk wd0 for swap partitions DEBUG: MakeDev: Unknown major/minor for devtype 0s1b DEBUG: MakeDev: Unknown major/minor for devtype 0s1e DEBUG: MakeDev: Unknown major/minor for devtype 0s1f Anyhow, looks like a sysinstall issue. I don't have any CVS repositories that I think I can look at for this, but it looks like its not processing the drive/partition name correctly. If anyone has any suggestions or corrections, let me know. I'm looking forward to trying 3.2. -Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
