It depends on the FreeBSD version. Older versions mounted it on /dist, if I remember correctly, but newer ones mount it directly on /.
I just tried booting to the flash with a cdrom installed so I could run the fixit shell. Apparently the cdrom is mounted on /dist and the flash isn't mounted at all. So either sysinstall isn't recognizing the flash as installation media or its favoring the cd when its present. How can I tell which is happening? How do I get it to mount the flash automatically?
I also tried using the fixit shell to mount the flash to /mnt but that didn't work either. However, I can install from cd after booting to flash, but that defeats the purpose. And since the crazy bios on my motherboard renumbers the ata devices I end up with a useless etc/fstab after removing the cd-rom drive. I love the way sysinstall congratulates me for installing FreeBSD after it fails to find the installation media. Its just so friendly. :P _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
