Re: Testing sysinst.fs



I think maybe you forgot to include the change for the unterminated quoted string issue?

(Or I might have somehow just switched up my sysinst files/disks, but I don't think so.)

/usr/mdec/installboot -v /dev/rsd0c

..and I get:

installboot: Cannot stat /netbsd, no bootversion check done
installboot: /dev/rsd0c: unknown: Device type not supported.

I think the first message may just be a warning.  The second one is
certainly a critical failure and sysinst takes me back to the main menu
without continuing the install.

If I start up a shell and try the command myself I get the same result.
I
can also try /dev/sd0c instead of /dev/rsd0c and I get the same thing.


http://mono.org/abs/sysinst4.fs.gz contains a modified mdec/installboot
which uses the device name to determine whether to use the floppy, ide, or
scsi bootblock install method.
