I am trying to invoke sysinstall with a config file, like so:
/sysinstall loadConfig=/etc/install.cfg
It'll run through the blue screen that says "Probing devices ... (this may
take a while) and then it exists with 0 return code, not doing anything at
all.
Any idea?
I get farther with:
/sysinstall `/usr/bin/egrep '^[a-zA-Z]' /etc/install.cfg | /usr/bin/awk \
'$2 {print "\""$_"\""} $2 == "" {print $_}'`
Which comes out to:
/sysinstall debug=YES nonInteractive=YES noWarn=YES disk=da0 partition=all bootManager=standard diskPartitionEditor "da0s1-1=ufs 2000000 /" "da0s1-2=swap 2000000 none" "da0s1-3=ufs 10000000 /var" diskLabelEditor diskLabelCommit installCommit
But sysinstall bombs on any line with a space in it:
da0s1-1=ufs 2000000 /
How to express my point to sysinstall?
Or, how to compile sysinstall? Maybe I can compile it to read my config file,
but alas, I cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall ; make clean ; make obj ; make and
I get this:
mv makedevs.tmp makedevs.c
cc -O -pipe -Wall -I/usr/src/release/sysinstall/../../gnu/lib/libdialog -I/usr/obj/usr/src/release/sysinstall -I/usr/tftpboot/diskless//usr/include -c makedevs.c
makedevs.c:314: syntax error before `,'
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src/release/sysinstall.
AUGHGHG!!!
Or, failing that, what's a handy way of creating myself a single
partition and laying the slices out like so:
da0s1-1=ufs 2000000 /
da0s1-2=swap 2000000 none
da0s1-3=ufs 10000000 /var
da0s1-4=ufs 0 /usr
Meaning, 1G for /, 1G for swap, 5G for /var and everything else for /usr
...
Thanks,
