:Thus spake Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>:
:> If someone explains to me how to reproduce the sysinstall swap issue
:> I will try to track it down and fix it. At worst sysinstall should
:> simply try to run without swap.
:
:Try to install without creating a swap partition. I haven't tried
:this since circa DP2, so I don't recall exactly what it bitched
:about, but I think it complained before it wrote the label.
:Someone (Eric McCoy, I think) mentioned on one of the lists that
:it is still an issue as of 5.0-RELEASE. I would try it myself if
:I had a non-broken disk around that I could afford to trash.
All right. If I can get sysinstall to work at all I'll try it. I'm
some serious problems just trying to get it see an IDE drive. First
it didn't recognize the partition it created... it created partition
ad2s4 then tried to mount ad2s1. Reboot. Now it gets past the
partitioning but can't seem to operate on the disklabel. Reboot.
Now it gets past the disklabel (though 'disklabel ad2s1' generates
a warning about the c partition not covering the entire drive) and
it seems to be installing happily, but I'm not convinced it's working
properly :-(. Sigh. I'm trying to do this from a net-booted machine,
maybe I have to do it from a floppy or CD booted box.
