Hello Darrick, I can live with a manually created unionfs partition as I use the virtual machine just for testing and experimenting. Though it would be nice if we can get the installer fixed.
I'll try to do some debugging, starting with injecting the expected runnix archive and see how far I get from there. Maybe that's the only missing piece. I'll report back as soon as I've made some progress. Thanks, Ingmar Darrick Hartman wrote: > Ingmar, > > This is a known issue that we need to fix. I haven't had time to dig > into it deeper.
