I spent about 2 to 3 hours last night futzing with sysinstall and
getting the amr.ko file onto the 4.0 install disk (using the
4.0-19991114 SNAP) I tried adding the amr disks to devices.c in
sysinstall but had no luck.
After booting the install disks and loading the amr kld (the probe
messages showed that it was detected) I escaped to the prompt
(alt+f4). I saw that the amrd0 /dev/ entries had been created,
but attempts to access them gave "unit 0 not available" (as far as
i remeber)
What exactly needs to be done to get 4.0 installed with a amr disk
as root?
this is what I tried:

Any ideas? We're really depending on getting these things going RSN.
