Is it the correct option for a Crusoe CPU? -mcpu doesn't change instruction set generated by the compiler, it affects instruction layout (i.e. the code still runs on a 386). Your question is really about what value of CPUTYPE to set in /etc/make.conf. I don't know the exact answer to that question for your CPU, but a vague answer is "whatever instruction set architecture that chip emulates" (i.e. pentium3, pentium/mmx, etc).

Since I finally succeded in installing DP2 booting from floppy, I thought I might answer. On 19-Nov-2002 Marc G.

I did the same. A bit strange (why would we need a swap during installation anyway), but not dangerous, since you're not formatting anything. > On Tue, 19 Nov 2002, John Baldwin wrote: >> >> On 19-Nov-2002 Marc G.

If so, >> don't, the restart stuff doesn't really work right. This may be related to Ctrl-C, but considering the time it takes to reboot, I'm willing to take the risk... Finally I could locate the problem: go to the options screen and set the installation root to /mnt. For some reason it is /, which seems wrong. After that I could install... but failed after the install finished for some other reason I don't remember. I couldn't do the post-install configuration, but since it was enough to boot, I just did it after reboot. And now, after compiling the packages that are not available, I have a nice running system. Is the floppy network install really working if you don't hit Ctrl-C? I seem to remember it was failing anyway, but I might be wrong. Aside question: I realized that the compiler sets -mcpu=pentiumpro by default. Is it the correct option for a Crusoe CPU? --- Jacques Garrigue Kyoto University garrigue at kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp http://wwwfun.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~garrigue/>JG To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Hmm, not sure. I don't think we currently support that. > On Tue, 19 Nov 2002, John Baldwin wrote: > >> >> On 19-Nov-2002 Marc G.

I have seen this out of space errors with the floppy install and a fresh formatted 8G Harddisk and default partition sizes.

Did you try to restart your install via Ctrl-C?
