Re: [netbsd-users] 8.1 sysinst script/logging failures
It looks as if 9.0_RC1 sysinst works as advertised for generating an install script, will work with that and can probably backport the bits I need from there to work with 8.1, thanks all. Regards, Malcolm -- Malcolm Herbert m...@mjch.net
8.1 sysinst script/logging failures
As suggested in a different thread, sysinst has the capability to log the steps
it took to create an install as a shell script. Unfortunately when I tried it
I got failures with an NetBSD-8.1-amd64.iso image running under VirtualBox
5.2.6. The path I took through sysinst was as follows:
a: installation messages in English
a:unchanged (keyboard type)
e:utility menu
e:logging functions
a:logging: on
b:scripting: on
x:exit
x:exit
a:install netbsd to hard disk
b:yes
a:wd0 (16GB, vbox harddisk)
a:this is the correct geometry
b:use the entire disk
a:yes (do you want to install the netbsd bootcode)
b:use existing partition sizes
x:partition sizes ok
name:(blank)
at this point I get a segfault and the terminal appears to be in noecho mode:
[1] Segmentation fault ${cmd}
If I repeat the above and put in a name for the disk, I get the same error.
/tmp/sysinst.log contains:
executing: gpt -qr header wd0
Creating disklabel VBOX HARDDISK in /tmp/disktab.VBOX HARDDISK
executing: sh -c 'cat /tmp/disktab.* > /tmp/disktab'
/tmp/sysinst.sh contains:
gpt -qr header wd0
cat <> /etc/disktab
(a disk tab entry, however it appears to contain a lot of control characters,
not just printable ascii)
EOF
sh -c 'cat /tmp/disktab.* > /tmp/disktab'
I am happy to run up a 9.0_RC1 and test the same there. At the moment I don't
have this VM in a state where I can copy files from it, so my description above
is necessarily vague for the content of /etc/disktab - /tmp/disktab looks fine
with no binary characters that I can see ...
Regards,
Malcolm

In a change or add command where the destination and gateway are not sufficient to specify the route the -ifp or -ifa modifiers may be used to determine the interface or interface address.

Setting default route and specify interface to be used
Hi all :)! I use two different NICs, Ethernet and WiFi, in a laptop. I need to change the configuration for gateway, IP and nameservers, according to the LAN I join. In particular, I would like to set a static IP address for the WiFi NIC and to set a router as default gateway. I am currently able to do this, using dhcpcd(8) with a dedicated `arping' section in dhcpcd.conf(5). But I would like to avoid running dhcpcd(8) in this scenario, if it is possible. Suppose that the NIC is initially down. I run: ifconfig netmask up The route configuration is a problem. In fact, the default routing table has: DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs UseMtu Interface default UG -- - I would like to have replacing , but I didn't manage to set this. If I delete the default route, then put down, and re-add the route as default, `Interface' keeps being set to `'. In Linux, it is possible to set the interface, instead: route add default gw But the synopsis in NetBSD's route(8) does not apparently accept a `
