What was wrong with the INDEX from the ISO image? Well, maybe its not specifically INDEX, but when combining the two iso images in a single directory, sysinstall isn't aware that there is only a single, combine directory. Sorry ! I also left off I editted the "cdrom.inf" file, removing the

How does one create the NFS installation directory for FreeBSD-5.4 ? I.e. is it supposed to be as simple as dumping the entire contents of CD#1 & CD#2 into a directory on an NFS server, and pointing 'sysinstall' to it? I've been doing 4.x & 5.x NFS installs successfully with an NFS server's repos

Hello, Trying to do a 5.4 nfs install. I've copied both disks to an nfs share, however i'm getting an error that i'm only using disk0 and that perl is on disk1, insert it. I've only got the one nfs installpoint and it has both disks copied to it. Is there an extra step wi

ing the from-scratch install, I've selected (A)ll as the distributions to be installed, and hit "Commit"; the installation then proceeds as usual (e.g. from 5.3 and prior), until it prompts to insert the next disc -- I'd never seen this behavior during an NFS install until FreeBSD-5

What's the best way to setup the repository of files from 5.4-RELEASE for NFS installation purposes? In earlier releases, because we usually had CDs/ISOs laying around, we'd simply dump the entirety of -disc1 onto the NFS server's exported filesystem and the right thing happened during installs.

er. As usual this was my own stupidity. NFS is a kernel module on the boot floppies and the module is on the drivers floppy and not the mfsroot floppy. rsync'd the NFS modules over and the NFS install worked flawlessly. I think the above error is just _slightly_ misleading for a missing kernel m
