<html> I've been beating my head against a wall for several hours trying to automate FreeBSD 3.3 installation. Whenever I try it, I get a warning dialog saying Unable to swap to /dev/wd0s1b: Device not configured. I then get an error saying "Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/rwd0s1a - Command returned status 1. After this, I am hosed. What am I doing wrong?<br> <br> I''ve created an mfsroot floppy with an install.cfg file as follows:<br> <br> # This is the installation configuration file for a TICS base installation<br> # Turn on extra debugging. <br> debug=yes<br> ################################ <br> # My host specific data <br> hostname=tics1 <br> domainname=eng.tvol.net <br> nameserver=10.32.2.79 <br> defaultrouter=10.0.0.1 <br> ipaddr=10.32.32.1 <br> netmask=255.0.0.0 <br> ################################<br> ################################ <br> # Which installation device to use <br> ftp=<font color="#0000FF"><u>ftp://builder2.eng.tvol.net</font></u><font color="#000000"> <br> netDev=fxp0 <br> mediaSetCDROM<br> ################################<br> ################################ <br> # Select which distributions we want. <br> dists= bin des X331bin X331cfg X331lib X331prog X331set X331VG16 X331nest X331vfb X331fnts X331f100 X331fcyr X331fscl X331fnon sinclude <br> distSetCustom <br> ################################<br> ################################ <br> # Now set the parameters for the partition editor on sd0. <br> disk=wd0 <br> partition=exclusive <br> bootManager=none <br> diskPartitionEditor <br> diskPartitionWrite <br> ################################<br> ################################ <br> # All sizes are expressed in 512 byte blocks! <br> # <br> # A 64MB root partition, followed by a 800MB swap partition, followed by <br> # a 100MB /var, a 400 MB /usr, and a /usr/tvol using all the remaining space <br> # <br> wd0s1-1=ufs 131072 / <br> wd0s1-2=swap 1638400 none <br> wd0s1-3=ufs 204800 /var <br> wd0s1-4=ufs 409600 /home <br> wd0s1-5=ufs 819200 /usr <br> # The following entry uses the remainder of the disk <br> wd0s1-6=ufs 0 /usr/tvol <br> # Let's do it! <br> diskLabelEditor<br> # OK, everything is set.
