Comments/Problems:
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments and ideas you had during the initial install.>
All-in-all, a pretty easy install with no major problems.
Note 1:
BootX has a default initrd size of 8192. This was not large enough. The first time I tried to boot, it failed trying to "access beyond the end of the device". from the sizes quoted in the error message, I assume that the "device" in question was the 8MB ramdisk. I manually changed the initrd size to 16384. Initial boot worked then.
Note 2:
I'm using the BootX bootloader for this test. Even though I specifically skipped installing the "quik" bootloader in the part of the installation before the reboot, when we got to the the after-reboot part it again tried to install the quik bootloader. I had to answer "No" specifically.
Note 3:
I asked it to install the "print server" task. Even though I had made ever effort to convince it that I was an English speaker in the US, it nevertheless wanted to default to "A4" paper in the printer task setup. I chose "letter", instead.
Here's the relevant part of the environment:
LANG=en_US
LANGUAGE=en_US:en_GB:en
Note 4:
In the after-reboot configuration phase, it asked me about parameters for "setserial". I had never once mentioned previous to this that I wanted to do anything at all with serial ports, so this was a bit surprising. The question it asked probably could have defaulted to the suggested choice (save config once only) and spared me the puzzlement.
