The following reply was made to PR bin/40656; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Thomas Zenker <thz@Lennartz-electronic.de> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: bin/40656: patch: sysinstall: scripted deletion of slices Date: Wed, 28 May 2003 10:26:02 +0200 Perhaps helps to get an ear explaining this a bit further: In automated installations (embedded devices in instruments) via sysinstall scripts, it is impossible to make a script which does a complete installation and works on hard disks which have fdisk partitions already. The most simple solution is to give sysinstall scripts the ability to delete all fdisk partitions, so we can do a new install. In embedded devices clobbering the fdisk partition manually is not an option. Thomas
