>Number: 913 >Category: conf >Synopsis: 2.1.0-RELEASE, problem with cpio verbosity in install >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sun Dec 24 20:40:01 PST 1995 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Gil Kloepfer Jr. >Organization: SSDL >Release: FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE >Environment: All install environments in 2.1.0-RELEASE >Description: 2.1.0-RELEASE install procedure fails when extract detail is set to "low" in install "Options" menu. Causes a blank argument to be passed to cpio, causing cpio to think nothing should be extracted. This will cause extraction of the root "floppy" to fail, so much of the installation information from that point on will not exist and the installation most likely will fail. >How-To-Repeat: Set install option "extract detail" to "low" >Fix: in media.c, routine cpioVerbosity, the last line in the routine returns "". It should return "--null". Merry Christmas :) >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
