I found a strange problem while making automatic install disk from official iso 6.2-RELEASE. I've made a custom install.cfg: ########################################## # This is the installation configuration file # Turn on extra debugging. debug=3Dyes nonInteractive=3Dyes # My host specific data hostname=3Dtestmachine domainname=3Dtest.com nameserver=3D192.168.50.10 # Which installation device to use mediaSetCDROM # Select which distributions we want. #dists=3Dbase bin catpages info manpages ports prof dists=3Dbase catpages info manpages proflibs kernel distSetCustom disk=3Dad0 partition=3Dall bootManager=3Dstandard diskPartitionEditor # All sizes are expressed in 512 byte blocks! ad0s1-1=3Dufs 614400 / ad0s1-2=3Dswap 1048576 none ad0s1-3=3Dufs 20480000 /usr 1 ad0s1-4=3Dufs 0 /var 1 diskLabelEditor diskLabelCommit # OK, everything is set. Do it! installCommit ############################################3 Then I placed it to prepared iso: gunzip mfsroot.gz mdconfig -a -t vnode -f mfsroot mount /dev/md0 /mnt/floppy cp ~/install.cfg /mnt/floppy umount /mnt/floppy mdconfig -d -u 0 gzip mfsroot Then I created a new bootable iso-image and burnt it to CD-RW. But after installing it on the test machine and after rebooting of that machine the system was unable to boot. Because the "/boot/kernel/" directory was empty, no modules, no kernels been in there.=20 Why the sysintsall didn't copy GENERIC kernel to my hard disk?? All distribution was copied but only the kernel and modules weren't.=20 Is it a bug or a feature? And how to fix it?
