I'm trying to do an unattended install of FreeBSD 5.2.1. If I don't include the 'shutdown' command at the end of the install.cfg file, the install works fine, but I have to manually reboot the machine after the install, which is no good for an unattended install. If I do include 'shutdown', then it appears that the disk does not unmount properly before the reboot. The console displays "interrupt was seen but timeout fired" and then prints a number (e.g. 150) over and over again. Then the system reboots, but the new installation has errors on the filesystem and requires me to manually run fsck. Again, this is no good for an unattended installation. Is there anyway to reboot the system from the install.cfg file and have it unmount cleanly? -- Richard
