But I have many problems: -sysinstall doesn't recognize my harddrive, (on some of my stations) whereas it is probe at the boot: wd0 :325MB (666600 sectors), 1010 cyls, 12 heads, 55 S/T, 512 B/S (but I can't mount it with mount -t ufs /dev/wd0c /...) -When I work on stations with 2 floppy drives, sysinstall freeze after asking me which of them it must use. -On some stations, sysinstall is unable to mount the floppy, whereas it's an msdos floppy, and I can mount it with the shell For the moment, I have a bootp / tftp / NFS server which works fine ( with 3.1-release) and the only problem is to make sysinstall load the install.cfg correctly and correctly probe hard drives and floppy drives. I aim at mounting the rootfs (from a 2.2.8-release) by NFS, and executing sysinstall (of the 3.1-release, but it's roughly the same) with a config file (install.cfg) Can you help me or forward my mail to someone who could help me please.
