Reply-To: shimon@simon-shapiro.org Organization: The Simon Shapiro Foundation From: Simon Shapiro To: freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Build of 19981108 Install Glitches Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org 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?
