Super-block backups (for fsck -b #) sudo fsck /dev/svnd0c dev/svnd0c: 8192 sectors in 82 cylinders of 1 tracks, 100 sectorsĤ.0MB in 1 cyl groups (88 c/g, 4.30MB/g, 640 i/g) Warning: 8 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated Warning: cylinder groups must have a multiple of 8 cylinders Newfs: /dev/svnd0c: not a character-special device Huh? If you can create a filesystem on a device, you can fsck dd if=/dev/zero of=image bs=1k count=4kĤ194304 bytes transferred in 0.079 secs (52916291 sudo vnconfig -k svnd0 image I've started working on solutions for these a little here and there, but never got it to a point where I thought it would be usable/useful. We're already 95% of the way there with the ftp installs so why not take that last step :) If we could integrate these scripted installs into the newly implemented PXE boot then we would have a really kickass installer system. Currently to automate the install scripts you have to recompile the darn thing, and that sucks. That wouldn't be TOO hard, just take the normal install script and save the choices that were made instead of executing them. If you wanted to take it a step further, you could have a little script that generates an answer file with these config choices. For example, an option to 'Save your config choices to a floppy/ftp/sftp location' after installing would make replicating the install on other boxes easier. I think we need to make it a little more script friendly. I've introduced OpenBSD to a few friends and that was their only real complaint with the installer (fdisk can be scary because it doesn't display partitions in megabytes and percentages like most people are used to) The bc executable is small enough that we might be able to squeeze it into the installer. I didn't vote for this (I think we need binary patches for more wisespread use) but I have a few relatively simple requests for improving the installer.Īllow us to create partitions based upon percentages.

Daemon tools lite 10.2 sucks
