I'm trying desperately to make my install.cfg file work. Documentation is sparse online and based on the few examples I have been able to find I can created this: --- debug=yes hostname=newserv domainname=x10.com nameserver=10.16.0.2 defaultrouter=10.16.0.1 ipaddr=10.16.0.254 netmask=255.255.255.0 mediaSetCDROM distSetEverything disk=da0 partition=all bootManager=boot diskPartitionEditor da0s1a=ufs 4194304 / da0s1b=swap 4194304 da0s1d=ufs 4194304 /home da0s1e=ufs 4194304 /tmp da0s1f=ufs 8388608 /usr da0s1g=ufs 8388608 /usr/local da0s1h=ufs 0 /var diskLabelEditor diskPartitionWrite diskLabelCommit installCommit shutdown --- yet when I load that config from the installer booted off the CD, it loads the file, prompts me to remove it from the floppy, then throws the message: "No root device found - you must label a partition as / in the label editor" But I can't find any examples of how to make that happen. Can't someone offer some insight? I have about 60 servers to install and even getting this basic install.cfg file will be a big help. -Geoff Sweet
