Hello, I'm using FAI 4.0.6 to install some clusters, but occasionally I mess up and use the wrong/bad disk configuration. FAI bails out and drops me to a prompt. This is expected behavior, EXCEPT, something ends up getting written to the MBR/GPT anyway on the bootable drive even though the disk setup was wrong for it. When the machine reboots it sits at a black screen forever because it found a partial MBR that sent CPU control off into lala land. This causes me to have to manually deal with the machine somehow to force it to boot from the net again.
So, I request a feature: For any bootable drive, if FAI fails to set up the disk configuration for it, can it automatically zero out the first 512 bytes of the drive? So when the reboot happens, the BIOS will see there is no valid MBR and fall down to the network installation method? Also, is there some kind of a "failed to install" hook that already exists where I can jam a script? Thank you. -pete
