Hi,
There is a terribly annoying bug in the install-fs I uploaded last
monday. It will only showup when you are installing from scratch.
Updating works ok (that's what I did.....).
The bug:
Just after the root-filesystem is created, you will get a
message like: instbin: ufs not linked in
The solution:
The following instructions will guide you to work around the
problem. Follow them carefull and watch the spaces and quoting....
1) Boot the floppy normally until you are asked the question:
Proceed with installation [n]
Instead of answering 'y', just hit <return>, you will
be left at the shell prompt.
2) Enter the command:
mount_ffs -o,update /dev/rd0 /
This will give you a writable root-filesystem
3) Enter the command:
sed -e '/mount -v/s/-v/-t ffs -v/' < install > install.tmp
4) Enter the command:
cp install.tmp install
You just updated the install script...
5) Enter the command:
exit
or just type ^D
6) After a little while, you will be back at '2)', now proceed
as normal.
I will upload a new version of the install filesystem as soon as possible.
In the meantime, the above solution should help you out.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Leo.
