Hello,
just performed a fresh install of a Netbsd 6.1 patch (amd64) from the
releng repos. The installl was very smooth (I had tried a Nebsd-7
install but I encountered fatal errors).
The last time I installed 6.1.2 I remember the system booting read
only in single mode. I had to remount / rw and edit rc.conf and
restart.
To my surprise I didn't have to do anything, the system is already rw
and I haven't even touched rc.conf.
I am using wireless and didn't have to configure anything. During
installation it detected wireless settings automatically and installed
pkgsrc.
As it is a fresh installation, has anything changed in the 6-1 installer?
Can you file an issue for the 7.0 errors, it should be stable now
without regressions.
I don't remember 6.1 ever starting in single user mode - perhaps there
was an issue with something last time when you installed it which is
now fixed? The intention is that it should be ready to go...
/etc/rc.conf in the etc.tgz set won't boot multi-user (rc_configured=NO),
but sysinst edits this after extraction as part of the final stages of
installation. It sounds like the install was aborted before the
final stages had been run.
