The solution provided by the Handbook recommend to use sysinstall program, = that's what I'm trying to do. The servers are using PXE boot to mount an mfsbsd filesystem, everything wo= rks as expected until now. I manually create the slice, labels and mount the partitions on "/mnt" part= ition. Then I manually launch "sysinstall loadConfig" to install packages classes= but I didn't find the way to precise an "Install Root" for /mnt whereas it= works if I did it on a interactive way using the options menu. Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Here is my install.cfg file: ------------------ # Turn on extra debugging. debug=3DYES # Ok, this ought to turn off ALL prompting, don't complain to me that you # lost a machine because you netbooted it on the same subnet as this # box nonInteractive=3DYES noWarn=3DYES tryDHCP=3DYES # My host specific data hostname=3Dpolbsd domainname=3Dpriv.atos.fr ################################ # Which installation device to use nfs=3D10.28.222.1:/opt/local/jumpstart/tftpboot/BSD/NFS netDev=3Dbge0 mediaSetNFS ################################ ################################ # Select which distributions we want. dists=3D base SMP manpages ports distSetCustom ################################ # OK, everything is set. Do it! installCommit shutdown ------------------ Thanks, David ________________________________ Ce message et les pi?ces jointes sont confidentiels et r?serv?s ? l'usage e= xclusif de ses destinataires.
