Hi. I'm trying to make a fresh install on a computer which had 4.6 on it (installing 4.7) and for some reason, although the NEWFS=Y in every row of the disklabel dialog, I am seeing clear signs that sysinstall is reading my old /var/db/pkg info among other things. This indicates to me that the newfs was somehow incomplete. It is certainly possible that the disklabel partitions are just identicle enough that it would line up correctly. I do find it very disconcerting that this happens. How do I get newfs "for real"? This is an ugly mess. -r To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
