sysinstall Unable to find device node...

2005-05-15 Thread Juan Flores
Hello:
I am sorry to bother you. But I was wondering if you found a solution  
to your problem at the following site:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-March/ 
042082.html

Unable to find device node for /dev/ad0s1b in /dev!
I am having the same problem with  FreeBSD 5.4  and 5.3.
PIII 800 Mhz  40Gb HD 256Ram . cant seem to solve.  However 5.4 loads  
fine under Virtual PC on my Mac.

when I set the geometry to the BIOS specs Install tells me Geometry not  
correct and doesnt accept.   Sysinstall also states do not use physical  
geometry, but when physical geometry is used  it is accepted.

If you have any info it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
JRF

sysinstall Unable to find device node...

2004-03-30 Thread Don
Using an install.cfg with sysinstall off the boot floppies I am getting
the following error:

Unable to find device node for /dev/ad0s1b in /dev!
The creation of filesystems will be aborted

This only happens if I specify the file systems and sizes I want in
install.cfg and tell it to do an installCommit or a diskLabelCommit.

If I go into the disklabel editor after the install fails, I see the root
partition and the swap partition but not my /usr or /var partitions.

The debug screen says:
Scanning disk ad0 for swap partitions
Found swapdev at ad0s1b!

It would appear that the swap device is there, and being found, but for
some reason sysinstall is erroring out and I do not know why.

This is only a problem when running it from install.cfg
