Re: FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE Install Failure: Unable to create a new /etc/fstab

2011-10-27 Thread Rick Miller
Just following up...I resolved the issue by copying /etc/* to /stand/
in the mfsroot.

 Hi All,

 I am Installing 8.2-RELEASE via PXE and receive an error stating that
 sysinstall was unable to create new /etc/fstab.  Everything appears to
 function correctly, in that, the system TFTP's the pxeboot and mfsroot
 files as needed.  However, When I switch to the holographic shell and
 poke around a little, I can see that there is no /etc, despite it's
 existence in the mfsroot.gz.

 I must be missing something and am hoping that someone might be able
 to point in the right direction.
