I'm trying to use netboot to automate the install of FreeBSD 5.4. I can get new servers to boot, mount the NFS partition which has all the data from the CD on it (taken from an iso) but I've run into two problems: 1) FreeBSD complains about my disk geometry, even though what it suggests matches what's in the BIOS it's coming up with some wierd numbers and halting my automated install so I can tell it "use the more likely geometry" 2) after the OS install it complains that it can't find packages. It finds the packages directory, parses the index file, but then it can't find them. The error on screen is "Please remove disc #0 from your drive, and add disc #1" and on tty2 the debug messages are: "DEBUG: package check for xxx returns failure." Any thoughts? -=Alexander
