Bug#31099: 31099: boot-floppies error report
I hit part of this problem while doing a clean slink install w/ the
2.1.4 disks. (using install.bat from dos)
Basicly, if you had started the pcmcia stuff before doing the base
install, the untaring of base2_1.tgz will fail because cardctl is in use
(the message was something like "error: text file cardctl busy").
manually killing cardctl, and then restarting it for the 2nd half of the
install worked.
Perhaps the cardctl on the boot/root disks should be renamed to
cardctl_tmp. or put in /tmp. heck, i think that we would be ok
removing it before the base install, elf working ok that way - but that
makes me worry.
i'd be happy to play with it more or give more details.
