--0-354485213-924615381=:16972 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset="US-ASCII" I currently use FreeBSD 2.2.8. I 'd like to setup a network automate installation, that's why I need install.cfg My strategy is to boot with netboot on a floppy, a bootp server answers the bootp request , gives IP adresses like gateway and DNS , mount a NFS slice as rootfs and finally specifies which kernel has to be booted (with path) a script copy a specific install.cfg from the network to the floppy, renaming it install.cfg Then I execute "sysinstall loadConfig" BUT : 1. sysinstall gives me an "unable to open (NULL): No such file or directory" -> where should I specify the file which has to be loaded ? 2. When I boot without the loadConfig option, sysinstall gives me "unable to add /dev/wd0s1b as swap device: device not configured" for the swap and "error mounting /dev/wd0s1e on /a/ : Invalid argument" when it tries to mount the devices on /a/, /a/usr, /a/var. I'd like to install a FreeBSD system on /a , then modify the fstab to boot on the last /a/ as / I join my install.cfg model. (sorry for the mistakes, I'm a French student) Thanks for any help you could bring me. --0-354485213-924615381=:16972 Content-ID: <Pine.BSF.3.96.990420143621.16972C@seth.cpc.wmin.ac.uk> Content-Description: Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset="US-ASCII"; name="install.cfg" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 IyBUaGlzIGlzIHRoZSBpbnN0YWxsYXRpb24gY29uZmlndXJhdGlvbiBmaWxl IGZvciBteSB0ZXN0cyBJUHY2IG1hY2hpbmVzLA0KDQojIFR1cm4gb24gZXh0 cmEgZGVidWdnaW5nLg0KIyBkZWJ1Zz15ZXMNCg0KI3NheSB3aGF0IGtpbmQg b2YgcmVsZWFzZSBtdXN0IGJlIGluc3RhbGxlZA0KI3JlbGVhc2VOYW1lPSIy LjIuOC1SRUxFQVNFIg0KDQojIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMj IyMjIw0KIyBNeSBob3N0IHNwZWNpZmljIGRhdGENCmhvc3RuYW1lPU1BQ0hJ TkUuRE9NQUlODQpkb21haW5uYW1lPWNzY3Mud21pbi5hYy51aw0KbmFtZXNl cnZlcj1JUF9ETlMNCmRlZmF1bHRyb3V0ZXI9SVBfR0FURVdBWQ0KaXBhZGRy PUlQX0FERFINCm5ldG1hc2s9MjU1LjI1NS4yNTUuMjI0DQojIyMjIyMjIyMj IyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIw0KDQojIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMj IyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIw0KIyBXaGljaCBpbnN0YWxsYXRpb24gZGV2aWNlIHRv IHVzZSAtIGZ0cCBpcyBwb2ludGVkIGRpcmVjdGx5IGF0IG15IGxvY2FsDQoj IG1hY2hpbmUgYW5kIHRoZSBpbnN0YWxsYXRpb24gZGV2aWNlIGlzIG15IDNj b20gNTA5IGV0aGVybmV0IGludGVyZmFjZS4NCm5mcz1JUF9TRVJWRVI6L2Rh dGEvMi4yLjgtUkVMRUFTRQ0KbmV0RGV2PWVwMA0KbWVkaWFTZXRORlMNCiMj IyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjDQoNCiMjIyMjIyMjIyMj IyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjDQojIFNlbGVjdCB3aGljaCBkaXN0cmli dXRpb25zIHdlIHdhbnQuDQpkaXN0cz1iaW4NCiMgZG9jIG1hbnBhZ2VzIGlu Zm8gY29tcGF0MjEgZGVzIHNyYyBzYmFzZSBzbGttIHNzeXMNCmRpc3RTZXRD dXN0b20NCiMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjDQoNCiMj IyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjDQojIE5vdyBzZXQgdGhl IHBhcmFtZXRlcnMgZm9yIHRoZSBwYXJ0aXRpb24gZWRpdG9yIG9uIHdkMC4g IFNldCB0byB1c2UgdGhlDQojIGRpc2sgZXhjbHVzaXZlbHkgKGNvdWxkIGFs c28gYmUgImFsbCIgdG8gdXNlIHRoZSB3aG9sZSBkaXNrIGJ1dA0KIyByZXNw ZWN0aW5nIHRoZSBNQlIgb3IgImZyZWUiIHRvIHVzZSBvbmx5IHVuYWxsb2Nh dGVkIHNwYWNlIGZvciBGcmVlQlNEKS4gDQpkaXNrPXdkMA0KcGFydGl0aW9u PWV4Y2x1c2l2ZQ0KYm9vdE1hbmFnZXI9Ym9vdGVhc3kNCmRpc2tQYXJ0aXRp b25FZGl0b3INCmRpc2tQYXJ0aXRpb25Xcml0ZQ0KDQojIFVuY29tbWVudCB0 aGlzIGluc3RlYWQgdG8gdXNlIG9ubHkgdGhlIGZyZWUgc3BhY2UgYW5kIGlu c3RhbGwgYm9vdCBtYW5hZ2VyLg0KI3BhcnRpdGlvbj1mcmVlDQojYm9vdE1h bmFnZXI9Ym9vdGVhc3kNCiNkaXNrUGFydGl0aW9uRWRpdG9yDQojIyMjIyMj IyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIw0KDQojIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMj IyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIw0KIyBBbGwgc2l6ZXMgYXJlIGV4cHJlc3NlZCBp biA1MTIgYnl0ZSBibG9ja3MhDQoNCiMgQSAzMk1CIHJvb3QgcGFydGl0aW9u DQp3ZDBzMS0xPXVmcyA2NTUzNiAvYS8NCiMgQW5kIGEgMzJNQiBzd2FwIHBh cnRpdGlvbg0Kd2QwczEtMj1zd2FwIDY1NTM2IG5vbmUNCiMgdGhlbiBhIDMy TUIgdmFyIHBhcnRpdGlvbg0Kd2QwczEtMz11ZnMgNjU1MzYgL2EvdmFyIA0K IyBGb2xsb3dlZCBieSBhIC91c3IgcGFydGl0aW9uIHVzaW5nIGFsbCByZW1h aW5pbmcgc3BhY2UgKHNpemUgMCA9IGZyZWUgc3BhY2UpDQp3ZDBzMS00PXVm cyAwIC9hL3Vzcg0KIyBMZXQncyBkbyBpdCENCmRpc2tMYWJlbEVkaXRvcg0K ZGlza0xhYmVsQ29tbWl0DQojIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMj IyMjIw0KDQojIE9LLCBldmVyeXRoaW5nIGlzIHNldC4gIERvIGl0IQ0KI2lu c3RhbGxDb21taXQNCg0KIyBJbnN0YWxsIHNvbWUgcGFja2FnZXMgYXQgdGhl IGVuZC4NCnBhY2thZ2U9YmFzaC0yLjAyLjENCnBhY2thZ2VBZGQNCnBhY2th Z2U9ZW1hY3MtMjAuMw0KcGFja2FnZUFkZA0KDQo= --0-354485213-924615381=:16972-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
