>Number: 8435 >Category: i386 >Synopsis: boot.flp does not give shell prompt after mounting fixit.flp >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sat Oct 24 16:50:01 PDT 1998 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Yun-Ching Lee >Organization: >Release: FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE i386 >Environment: Booted up boot.flp. In the main menu. >Description: When sysinstall prompts for mounting fixit.flp, it keeps prompting for the floppy, even though the file system is mounted (observation from holographic shell created during normal installation). sysinstall enters an infinite loop of prompting for fixit.flp. There is no way to terminate the loop, except by Control-C or Control-Alt-Del to reboot. >How-To-Repeat: 1. Boot boot.flp 2. Select 8 Fixit. 3. Select 2 Floppy. 4. Change floppy disk as prompted. 5. sysinstall keeps prompting for fixit.flp. >Fix: N/A. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
