It's -1, so I assume that's okay. >You will need to define "doesn't seem to like what I'm trying to do" to get a >more constructive answer. Yeah, that wasn't very useful was it? Okay, I'm having a couple of problems, at least. One problem is I don't know how to tell sysinstall where my target root is located. I have something like this in my install.cfg: disk=da0 bootManager=standard partition=all diskPartitionEditor da0s1-1=ufs 0 /newroot diskLabelEditor diskLabelCommit This formats my target drive as I want it (a single full disk partition at this point), but when I do the actual install, there is no way to tell sysinstall where my target root is. So, when the commands dists=base kernels GENERIC manpages distSetCustom installCommit are executed, the files are extracted and installed on my active system, not the system I am building on da0. That's my problem in a nutshell ultimately--how do I tell sysinstall where my target root is? It impacts the whole session, including packageAdd commands. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
