For the most part it worked well but there were some minor nits: 1) X doesn't seem to like my video card. X just didn't work after the machine was installed. Trying to run the graphical X setup from sysinstall hung the machine, but I think this is a result of X not liking my video card (S3 968). I did try out the curses based X config though, and I must say that it is better than the graphical one as it does more handholding and also looks quite nice, esp. when run from a text-mode installer such as sysinstall. 2) The time zone question should default to NO (assume clock set to local time) rather than UTC IMO. I think this is something that would have to be changed in tzsetup, not in sysinstall. Hmm, it seems we assume a UTC clock for alpha and sparc64 on purpose. I guess this should be left alone then. 3) I got a lot of errors on vty2 (debug tty) when adding packages about -a not being a valid option for 'ldconfig'. I do not know why ldconfig is being invoked with '-a' but it would be nice to track this down. 4) One thing I noted specific to my environment is that while I could enable ntpdate, I could not enable ntpd from sysinstall. Granted, ntpd requires an ntp.conf config file, so that may be the valid reason for that. 5) One thing I noticed is that one cannot setup NFS mounts in fstab from sysinstall. This might be a nice feature to have some day. I mount /home via NFS on all my test machines. 6) Even though I can enable the nis client from sysinstall, I can't actually turn on NIS in the password and group files from sysinstall. It might be nice to have sysinstall ask you if it should enable it by writing appropriate lines to the two files when you enable nis_client_enable. Other than that it worked great. I must admit that most of these are really feature requests more than bug reports. Now off to try and get a 5.0 release built so I can test that... -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-qa Fri Nov 1 11:40:33 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-qa@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 26BC237B401 for ; Fri, 1 Nov 2002 11:40:33 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail.speakeasy.net (mail11.speakeasy.net [216.254.0.211]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B858D43E77 for ; Fri, 1 Nov 2002 11:40:32 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jhb@FreeBSD.org) Received: (qmail 31347 invoked from network); 1 Nov 2002 19:40:38 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO server.baldwin.cx) ([216.27.160.63]) (envelope-sender ) by mail11.speakeasy.net (qmail-ldap-1.03) with DES-CBC3-SHA encrypted SMTP for ; 1 Nov 2002 19:40:38 -0000 Received: from laptop.baldwin.cx (gw1.twc.weather.com [216.133.140.1]) by server.baldwin.cx (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id gA1JeUn5033584 for ; Fri, 1 Nov 2002 14:40:30 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from jhb@FreeBSD.org) Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.5.2 on FreeBSD X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 Date: Fri, 01 Nov 2002 14:37:42 -0500 (EST) From: John Baldwin To: qa@FreeBSD.org Subject: note about modules in mfsroot Sender: owner-freebsd-qa@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG As it stands now, when we do an installation, we copy all of /stand over to the / of the new installation.

You have to launch a shell and do 'camcontrol rescan' then do a device rescan from the Options screen to get them to show up. The mly on the system I was testing seems especially tweaked since doing the rescan locked the mylex controller up. :-/ Not sure if its a mly bug, a problem with the system itself, or what.
