Package: boot-floppies Version: current cvs Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
The root problem appears to be that /dev/tty isn't available to processes running in a bterm. Perhaps this should be reassigned to bogl-bterm? It would be _super_ cool if we can get language chooser to work, but we are already out of time, fixes needed last week. 1. modconf broken When I try to 'Install Kernel and Driver Modules' I get /target/usr/sbin/modconf: cannot create /dev/tty: no such device or address local; release_notes.en: bad variable name /target/usr/sbin/modconf: cannot create /dev/tty: no such device or address local; release_notes.en: bad variable name /target/usr/sbin/modconf: cannot create /dev/tty: no such device or address local; release_notes.en: bad variable name etc . . . 2. Shell has no job control This one isn't all that bad, looks like the same thing, easier to track down maybe, so I include it. When I choose 'Execute a shell' I get the message sh: can't access tty; job control turned off # FWIW, both modconf and the shell are invoked simply with system() from within dbootstrap. I tried a few hacks like removing the /dev/tty redirection from modconf (complete failure), and redirecting to other tty's (sort of worked, but isn't really acceptable since user would have to do alt-f4 to use modconf, and then alt-f1 when it is finished).
