* De: Poul-Henning Kamp <phk@freebsd.org> [ Data: 2002-10-21 ] [ Subjecte: 5.0-RUSH: -current install testers wanted! ] > > I want as many people as possible to beat up on sysinstall as much as > they can. > I've been fighting to find a way to install -CURRENT pure on my workstation using the 4.7 CD I just got in the mail, to no avail, because of the bin->base thing. But with the 4.7 installer, bouncing around in the FTP and networking screens, having done the "restart sysinstall" thing once, I managed to get a SIG11, though I couldn't reproduce it with debugging on. Anyone with a good idea on how to bootstrap a _clean_ 5.0 install to a box with only a CDROM drive, and 4.7 CD, with broken PXE firmware, and an IDE disk which can be thrashed, by all means tell me... I'd imagine that I could just use the mfsroot and kernel, but there's no way for me to disable atkbd/atkbdc that _I_ know of, in the post-userconfig world, and my keyboard is broken at the mountroot> prompt, as the atkbdc detected based on my usb keyboard makes neither interface work, as both are exposed to the kernel. I've never had to install CURRENT on here without the ability to burn a bootable CD, and use userconfig... Yes, it was that long ago that I did my initial install. Thoughts? Yes, I could build my own kernel and fake it, but I can't do that in a "real, user environment", and I'd love to have some idea of what might be possible... Damned Korean legacy-free box :/ Thanks, juli. -- Juli Mallett <jmallett@FreeBSD.org> | FreeBSD: The Power To Serve Will break world for fulltime employment. | finger jmallett@FreeBSD.org http://people.FreeBSD.org/~jmallett/ | Support my FreeBSD hacking!
