>Number: 3713 >Category: conf >Synopsis: installation floppy bug >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Thu May 29 12:50:03 PDT 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Jin Guojun[ITG] >Organization: >Release: FreeBSD 3.0-SNAP i386 >Environment: The installation floppies for all releases >Description: if disk label step is done after everything else, then the installation procedure will not continue, and the installation has to be started over again. There was a similar problem in the networking configuration section, if the host IP typed wrong, after OK, it wouldn't be changed again. I do not know if this problem still exist. These problem is no critical, but very time consuming. >How-To-Repeat: From Welcome to FreeBSD! menu, choose 5,6,7 and skip FreeBSD Disklabel Editor or delete swap; continue to configure everything else and hit OK. Some error will be reported for continuing installation. Go back FreeBSD Disklabel Editor and make correct disk partitions, and try installation again, nothing will work, and you have to start all over again from reboot. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
