:Try to install without creating a swap partition. I haven't tried
:this since circa DP2, so I don't recall exactly what it bitched
:about, but I think it complained before it wrote the label.
:Someone (Eric McCoy, I think) mentioned on one of the lists that
:it is still an issue as of 5.0-RELEASE. I would try it myself if
:I had a non-broken disk around that I could afford to trash.
Ok, I tracked down the error message.
Insofar as the swap goes I think we may simply be able to remove the
test, as in the patch below. I haven't been able to test it yet
for a myrid of reasons... my attempt to 'make release' fails so I
cannot generate a new ISO, sysinstall in multi-user tries to write over
/ instead of installing on the specified hard disk, and so far my attempts
to hack sysinstall to make it install to the specified hard disk have
either failed with mounting errors or panic'd the system :-(. And the
system I am testing on doesn't have a floppy. So if someone else can
somehow test this it would be a help.
