Upgraded a system by adding a second drive, mounting it as /u, running /stand/sysinstall and editting the options to change root to /u. Did a minimal installation. Everything worked OK except that /stand did not get created. As I needed to upgrade to RELENG anyway, I NFS mounted /usr/src & /usr/obj, went to /usr/src/release/sysinstall and did a make all make install which built and installed /stand/sysinstall. That is the ONLY file in /stand, none of the other links, etc exist. I manually linked sysinstall to a few command names - all of them fail. sysinstall seems to work OK, although I did not do extensive tests. The size seems VERY small: # ls -l /stand/sysinstall -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 820468 Dec 1 00:18 /stand/sysinstall Digging around in the source code I do not see any code to deal with being called as an alternate name. Nor do I see code in the Makefile to create the other commands. I certainly could go to another machine and simply grab a copy of /stand but this SHOULD work, shouldn't it? /\/\ \/\/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
