I am pretty sure it was still happening even then. Unfortunately, I had several other minor problems and it was easy enough to hack sysinstall so I did not bother to really check. If I have some time I will go back and look into it again. -Don ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I simply commented out the code in sysinstall that generated the error and supplied the geometry through the geometry directive in install.cfg. I was also calling diskPartitionEditor and diskPartitionWrite. If I just called diskPartitionEditor and left the rest for install commit most of the other problems I was having went away. -Don ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

5.2.1 sysinstall disk geometry problem
Ok last problem I am having: When scripting sysinstall, it still halts with an error about my disk geometry. The problem is, even if I specify the geometry that FreeBSD wants to use by setting the geometry= variable, I still get the error. Everything else in sysinstall is being scripted correctly. The only problems I am having are disk related. Can anyone shed any light on this subject?
