https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=290901 --- Comment #2 from Peter <freebsd@peterk.org> --- Did some more testing today. During the 'partition' part of the bsdinstall, If I do "Auto (ZFS)": 'devfs' is mounted on /mnt/dev on alt+F4 this was done in a VM because it uses the whole disk. I always choose "Shell" because I don't use the whole disk for "zroot", but a smaller [gpt] partition. [ 15.0 BETA5 is p7, p2 is shared swap, p3 is 14-STABLE, p4 is 15.0 BETA1, p6 is data, etc, or on VMs I use separate disk for OS and only time I use auto partitions ] It just occurred to me that "partition by hand" option also expects me to mount devfs on /mnt/dev. using the "Shell" option for partitioning on baremetal laptop: So with 15.0-BETA5 on baremetal. try 1: Did manual partitions, mounted them under /mnt: bsdinstall did the install no firmware and no /dev/pci try 2: Did manual partitions, mounted them under /mnt mounted devfs under /mnt/dev bsdinstall did the install bsdinstall found the wifi and gpu firmware I needed. So issue is my assumption that "Shell" only cared about manual partitions/mounts, not me mounting devfs which I though bsdinstaller did after partitions are done. My shell script to for creating partitions and mounts was built from looking at /var/log/bsdinstall_log. That log file has nothing on devfs [14.x was when I was building my partition scripts], and looking at my fstab right now running X/i3/shell/firefox I don't have devfs in /etc/fstab, but it's mounted: freeburg:$ grep devfs /etc/fstab freeburg:$ mount | grep devfs devfs on /dev (devfs) freeburg:$ uname -a FreeBSD freeburg.ru.kupaet.com 15.0-BETA1 FreeBSD 15.0-BETA1 releng/15.0-n280655-36a923a476dc GENERIC amd64 freeburg:$ I guess I need to add devfs to my /etc/fstab, and add it to my partition script [as /boot/efi was not in /var/log/bsdinstall_log either as i remember]. I say partition step should only care about partitions, and if devfs is not mounted, mount it after partitions are setup. Also log that devfs is mounted. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
