Hi, kFreeBSD/i386 installation
- debian-squeeze-di-beta1-kfreebsd-i386-xfce+lxde-CD-1.iso - http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/squeeze_di_beta1/kfreebsd-i386/iso-cd/ fails at the Install bootloader step with error "The 'grub-pc' package failed to install into /target." Log on tty4 displays: main-menu[110]; INFO: Menu item 'grub-installer' selected grub-installer: info: architecture: kfreebsd-i386/generic grub-installer: info: Identified partition label for /dev/ad0s2: msdos grub-installer: dpkg: warning: ignorin request to remove grub which isn't installed grub-installer: dpkg: warning: ignorin request to remove grub-legacy which isn't installed /bin/in-target: warning: /target/etc/mtab won;t be updated dince it is a symlink in-target: Reading package lists... in-target: in-target: Building dependency tree... in-target: in-target: Reading state information... in-target: in-target: E in-target: : in-target: Unable to locate package grub-pc in-target: grub-installer: info: Calling 'apt-install grub-pc' failed Looking at /target/etc/apt/sources.list all three lines (cdrom, security and sources for security) were commented out. Uncommenting the cdrom line helped and after rerunning the 'Install bootloader' step the installation finished as expected. Possible causes of the error: - the machine was not able to connect to the network (that's why I chose to go with full CD media and not only netinst), due to the fact WPA setup is not supported - therefore after failling to obtain DHCP lease I chose 'No network setup now'. - question to install additional software displayed only 'Standard unix tools' task, which I deselected as I prefer to select individual packages. -- Miroslav Kure -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
