[ sorry if you get this twice, it didn't seem to go through the first time ]
I'm having a problem trying to install the 12/20/99 -current snapshot. When I
finalize all the settings and sysinstall is about to partition/setup the drive I
get the following message:
Unable to make device node of /dev/ad0s1b in /dev!
The creation of filesystems will be aborted.
If I switch to the second virtual terminal it says:
DEBUG: Scanning disk ad0 for root filesystem
DEBUG: Scanning disk ad0 for swap partitions
DEBUG: MakeDev: Unable to lookup user "root".
[ last line repeated several times ]
The drive I'm installing on is a Seagate ST36451A IDE drive. I've tried
switching between Auto and User(with proper geometry values) in the BIOS but
neither worked. Is this a user error or is there something else wrong here? I
checked the mailing lists but couldn't find anything appropriate.
Thanks,
