Hi, all
I need building my own install server and want install my custom
world, custom kernel and other in non-interactive mode.
With 6.1-beta3 it work in mass (I not try install my kernel).
With 6.1-beta4 and more fresh I can't get non-interactive
installation.
1. I can't find how to select timezone non-interactive.
2. I can't good variant for installing my own kernel (now I use
command=/dist/my.custom.installer
system
/dist/my.custom.installer -- simple script:
----------------
#!/bin/sh
cd /dist/kernels
./install.sh OILSPACE1
rm -rf /boot/kernel
ln -s /boot/OILSPACE1 /boot/kernel
----------------
but it's hack.
It seems simpler to just setup OILSPACE1 as the GENERIC kernel on your
install iso so everything else would work as intended. Doing that would
require a small change to release/Makefile to make "GENERIC" a name you
can set from the command line.
I'm not sure when the custom installer script gets run but be sure to
look at install.c:installFixupKernel as it might explain some of your
problems. There was also a bug in the install.sh script that was fixed
after BETA4.
In general the recent changes for packaging+installing kernels should
simplify _adding_ custom kernels to an install but not replacing GENERIC
and/or SMP kernel configurations.
Also I have question about making my own release.
I can't understand, how to create my own loader.conf for pxeboot.
Default not work -- machine panic with "no init" diagnose. Reason --
need string in loader.conf:
vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:/dev/md0c"
(I need some another strings for my own loader.conf)
For creating release I use command:
make release BUILDNAME=6.1-PRERELEASE CHROOTDIR=/usr/release \
CVSROOT=/home/ncvs EXTSRCDIR=/usr/src KERNELS=OILSPACE1 \
LOCAL_PATCHES=/usr/src_local_patches NO_FLOPPIES=yes NO_ISOS=yes \
NODOC=yes NOPORTS=yes RELEASETAG=RELENG_6 KERNELS_BASE="OILSPACE1 \
GENERIC"
KERNELS_BASE was not intended to be overridden as sysinstall has builtin
knowledge about "GENERIC" and "SMP". KERNELS is documented as a knob to
set to add additional kernel configurations to an iso.
My local patches -- only new unionfs currently.
install.cfg I put in /usr/src/release directory.
Can anybody help me with auto-select timezone, right way for
installing kernel and place in source tree for PXE loader.conf?
I don't know about the timezone setting. Hopefully the above helps with
setting up a custom kernel. FWIW I used qemu to test the
release+sysinstall changes (in case you aren't aware of it).
