Using the wrong sysinstall will get the hard coded header stuff, which will not include everything, and will include some things which are no longer there. Also, ssh will stop working because of /dev/random having a different device node, and /etc/pam.conf not including the ssh lines, and sshd being too damn stupid to fall back to the non-attributed setup lines, if its own named ones are missing. You have to use the sysinstall that matches the CDROM. Unfortunately, the sysinstall that matches the CDROM does not exist on the CDROM, except in the MFS image in the boot floppy image (it would be nice if it and the MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV.local scripts had been included in their own subdirectory on the CDROM). The MAKEDEV stuff can go away, now that devfs is standard, but the next CDROM should contain the boot image sysinstall on it somewhere. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
