I am attempting to set up network installs of FreeBSD 5.2.1 for a project I am working on.
I can boot kern.flp and mfsroot.flp over the network with no problems and do a manual install. I can configure install.cfg to automatically set the distribution, network card, install method and so on. What I can not get working right is automatic disk partitioning. No matter what I have set up, the installer just will not set up partitions for me. install.cfg looks like: # Now set the parameters for the partition editor on ad0 disk=ad0 partition=all bootManager=standard diskPartitionEditor #diskPartitionWrite # All sizes are expressed in 512 byte blocks! ad0s1-1=ufs 1999999 / ad0s1-2=swap 6485760 none ad0s1-3=ufs 2097152 /var ad0s1-4=ufs 0 /usr # Let's do it! diskLabelEditor #diskLabelCommit Can anyone tell me where I am screwing up? I have tried several variations on the above config file all without success. There is also the somewhat related problem of sysinstall refusing to accept the BIOS definition of the drive geometry but I believe I was able to get beyond that problem.
