Hi there again. after looking into the issue, i have found serveal issues with my setup
- i have used tar xzvf, that didnt set permissions, use tar xzvphf instead - i have forgot to set hostname.re0 - most importantly, i didnt extracted etc file sets, until 5.7 they were distrbuted seperately, now they are under base file set and can be found under /var/sysmerge after extracting base. - i forgot to enable tty00 in ttys, that was the reason for no login prompt in serial but i still get these: > stat: 10.0.0.2:/home/chara/nfs/d510/: No such file or directory > stat: 10.0.0.2:/home/chara/nfs/d510/: No such file or directory > usage: mknod [-m mode] name b|c major minor > mknod [-m mode] name p > usage: mknod [-m mode] name b|c major minor > mknod [-m mode] name p it seems /etc/rc sets up a /dev/rootdisk based on df output. which, needs changes for nfs setups. the errors are from /etc/rc:307 and /etc/rc:308, possibly related to bumping disklabel limit up to 64? they are harmless however, i can boot without issues. kudos to http://voidcrunch.xyz/?p=60 -- chara <[email protected]>
