I carried out the following steps: - booted from CD-ROM and logged in as root - created a disklabel on the IDE disk, with partitions for /, /var, /usr and swap. - newfs'd the partitions - mounted them under /mnt, /mnt/var and /mnt/usr - untarred /root/distrib-20020406.tar into /mnt - created /mnt/etc/fstab with entries for all my partitions, including swap and proc - rebooted The system now appears to boot successfully from the hard disk, but can not present a login prompt. The following message appears: (date time) init: can't exec getty '/usr/libexec/getty' for port /dev/ofwcons: No such file or directory Now, I'm guessing this is because my new /dev does not contain valid device entries. So, as I'm unable to log in to rectify this, I booted off the CD-ROM again, and mounted the new root directory under /mnt. I then tried to run the following: # cd /mnt/dev # sh ./MAKEDEV which did nothing, and # sh ./MAKEDEV ofwcons which said the device does not exist. I'm not sure where to go from here. Any suggestions or instructions would be much appreciated.

Having inspected /mnt/dev/MAKEDEV, I found that it didn't seem to have the ability to create the ofwcons device node, so I manually created it with: # cd /mnt/dev # mknod ofwcons c 97 0 root:tty and then booted from the disk. I had the same error as before. It then occured to me that getty itself might not be found. I booted from CD again, mounted up my disk partitions under /mnt, looked in /mnt/usr and found no files or subdirectories at all. I then unmounted /dev/ad0f from /mnt/usr and hey presto!, all my files appeared. Now, when I originally extracted the distrib tar file into /mnt, I am 100% certain that I had mounted /dev/ad0e and ad0f at /mnt/var and /mnt/usr respectively, so I am at a loss to explain why the files ended up in subdirectories of my root partition instead of in their own partitions. Oh well. Better get those files moved. Jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
