Okay.
Well, FWIW, fdisk -I does *not* work successfully for me, under any
circumstances I've tried so far.
I have found a work-around, though:
TERM=cons25 # If serial console, set this to vt100
export TERM
/stand/sysinstall nonInteractive=YES partition=all bootManager=standard \
disk=${disk} diskPartitionEditor diskPartitionWrite
Woohah!
Interestingly enough, I see the same complaints about there not being a
disklabel, but my subsequent disklabel commands work. To whit:
disk=${disk}s1
disklabel -r -w $disk auto
disksize=`disklabel $disk | awk -F : '$1 == "sectors/unit" {print $2}'`
[...]
disklabel $disk | grep -v ' c:' > /tmp/mylabel
disklabel -R -B $disk /tmp/mylabel
And then some MAKEDEV, newfs, distributions, packages, config files, etc.
Okay, so I'll need to test this some more, but this is a pleasant
break-through for the evening. One which I hope will hold. :)
This is way screwed up, imho. I might investigate some day as to why
sysinstall can do what fdisk -I can not, but I have some machines that are
overdue for installs. :)
