Actually, it might not exist yet. /etc/fstab should *not* exist since /etc is in mfsroot.flp.

That's why "/etc/fstab:0: No such file or directory" message are not shown. There is a code for fscking existing partitions but it doesn't work until my last commit to src/sys/release/{alpha,i386,pc98}/boot_crunch.conf. We are in 5-current era, and we can't asssume that all device file listed in existing /etc/fstab in /dev on the disk (imagine you add a new disk after installing 5-current). Sysinstall should be changed, since it assume that /dev on existing (root) partition has all device files which are listed in /etc/fstab or whatever. I'll try to fix in this evening. -- - Makoto `MAR' Matsushita To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
