Am installing the snapshot of the 8th, using a ``Novice'' installation.
At the commit phase, it aborts in failing to newfs the root partition:
fixlabel: invalid magic
fixlabel: invalid magic
fixlabel: invalid magic
newfs: ioctl (WDINFO): Read-Only filesystem
newfs: /dev/rda0s1a: Can't rewrite disk label.
Re-running the whole afair from the (sysinstall) Custom=>Commit menu still
produces these error messages (for each and every file system), but seems
to proceed fine into the extract phase.
Has the bug (from the 1st or there about) of not putting a valid boot
record been fixed?
Will disklabel -B -b /usr/mdec/boot1 /dev/da0c prior to reboot be the cure?
Sincerely Yours, Shimon@Simon-Shapiro.ORG
