I have been working on writing an install.cfg to automate FreeBSD installations, but have run into an interesting glitch. Following the sysinstall manpage, my file has the line 'installFixitFloppy', which is supposed to prompt the user to enter a fixit floppy disk. However, when sysinstall runs (and loads the script), the user is not prompted for the disk, and instead a shell that very much resembles the Emergency Holographic Shell is automatically loaded on VTY4. Sysinstall still displays the "waiting for the fixit shell to exit" dialog, but the user is never prompted for the Fixit disk, and the shell on VTY4 is definitely not a Fixit environment. (obviously, when all this is happening, the MFS root floppy is still in the drive). Does anybody know what is happening here?
