 4.2FFS, UFS2, or both?

 In the attached second version of the patch, I explicated UFS2.

 UFS1 works too, but I chose to introduce only UFS2.
 (I'll use UFS2 in kfreebsd-i386 commit in next days/weeks.
 I think it is not good to add a feature and not use it.)
 See http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/d-i?view=revrevision=59261

Committed in svn trunk.

 I would very much like to be able to install Debian GNU/kFreeBSD on
 4.2FFS (aka UFS1) filesystems, not just UFS2.

This patch is only about initrd (a.k.a. mfsroot).
I think (I didn't test) you can already install Debian GNU/kFreeBSD on
UFS1 with current hacked sysinstall
(http://glibc-bsd.alioth.debian.org/doc/installing.html).

[patch] installer ufs initrd support (how to create a ufs filesystem as a normal user?)

2009-07-06 Thread Luca Favatella 
This patch adds ufs initrd support.
It was in the previous d-i kfreebsd branch, so thanks to Robert Millan.

This code has the bad thing that mkfs.ufs must be executed as root,
and I don't know how to create a ufs filesystem on kfreebsd without
being root.
Comments on how to create a ufs filesystem as a normal user?


I use this on kfreebsd-i386.

Luca Favatella
