Dear Esteemed Central American Alligators,
Danek Duvall suggested I write to you to mention a user
surprise.
Years of habit led me to believe that the install procedure
for 2009.06 would automatically reboot.
The last thing from my window from yesterday was
Please refer to /tmp/install_log file for details
After reboot it will be located at /var/sadm/system/logs/install_log
So when I logged in this morning I thought it was post-reboot.
I did _not_ understand that it was up to me to do the reboot.
In fact, we were still in the installation environment:
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/devices/ramdisk-root:a
160M 154M 5.1M 97% /
and lots of stuff did not work as expected.
User error? It was my "fault" for not noticing that this install
procedure relies on me to do the reboot (which was explained
just above the lines I excerpted - but since it differs from
what I was used to, it was easy to miss.)
This problem could have been prevented by, for
example, a generous application of white space
and stars, to draw a box that would have
highlighted that user action is awaited.
