5.0-release install problem
Howdy all, I have a Toshiba Tecra 8000 laptop that I had installed 4.7-release on awhile ago using just the kernel and mfsroot floppies and then getting everything else via ftp. Well, I decided to start all over on this system, only with 5.0-release. I actually made the mini-inst cd, but I booted from the floppies because my cd drive won't boot CDR discs. I noticed that it didn't seem to give me the option to configure the kernel like it did on 4.7, so I just went ahead with a standard install. However, it gave the following errors trying to mount the cd. Error mounting /dev/ac0 on /dist: Operation not supported by device (19) I'm pretty sure the drive is operational and I know the cd is good because I can mount it on another machine (which I did to make the floppies). Anyway, so then I decided to install via ftp (as I had just done with the 4.7 floppies a few months ago). However, when I booted with the 4.7 floppies, it asked me if I wanted to configure the pc cards (I set usable memory and such). This didn't happen with 5.0, but I could watch on the boot of the floppies and see dmesg output for pccard0 and see the LEDs go solid for my linksys 10/100 card. But, when I go to select the FTP site, I only see sl0 and ppp0 devices. Nothing for my ethernet card. I'm sure I've done something foolish, so any advice is appreciated.

Re: 5.0-release install problem
drivers.flp is your friend :) It happened to me, and I'm no fool! Well, thats kind of the point of the problem. Drivers.flp isn't needed. Sysinstall loads the 8139 driver from its base. The ATA drivers are in the base, as well (of course), so the question is: why does the bug in the 8139 driver manifest in a mishandling of the mounted file system? This leads me to believe that the bug isn't 8139-dependant, but, something rooted in the design of the interrupt code itself.

The cd9660 kld is on drivers.flp and would hopefully help with Shane's Error mounting /dev/ac0 on /dist: Operation not supported by device (19) problem. John.
