Problem using sysinstall command line version ?? I am running the following BSD ver ( release i built , maybe something does not work, although i doubt it , i am using it finely ) FreeBSD ockle.dev.nanoteq.co.za 5.0-20000724-SNAP FreeBSD 5.0-20000724-SNAP #5: Thu Jul 27 14:47:59 SAST 2000 johan@ockle.dev.nanoteq.co.za:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386 Made a MFS Boot image for CD-Installation. Crunched 72 Megs of utils into 1.67 Megs, ( thanx to crunch ) Anyhow, i mount the CD with live filesystem on /cdrom on MFS filesystem, and now runned /stand/sysinstall ( obviously after a chroot to /cdrom ) Works perfectly in interactive mode. I am trying to use on command line as follows: try 1: /stand/sysinstall disk=ad0 partition=all diskPartitionWrite it doesn't work so i tried try 2: /stand/sysinstall disk=ad0 partition=all noConfirm=yes diskPartitionWrite it doesn't work so i tried try 3: echo aw | /stand/sysinstall disk=ad0 partition=all diskPartitionWrite it does a Select All and Write, BUT sometimes goes bonkers try x: still doesnt work, so compiled sysinstall with LOAD_CONFIG_FILE=/tmp/jjk.conf mounted a stiffy ( ufs ) on /tmp with my jjk.conf on it. sysinstall does not even try to load a file ??? My sysinstall manpage specked that i should put LOAD_CONFIG_FILE=whatever into the Makefile ..... does not use it Want to use the command line version of sysinstall to partition disks, but can't get it to work. Am i doing something Wrong ?? ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Johan Kruger <jkruger@oskar.dev.nanoteq.co.za> Date: 05-Aug-00 Time: 13:46:57 This message was sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
