Base System Installation Checklist:
Initial boot worked: [O]
Configure network HW: [O]
Config network: [O]
Detect CD: [ ]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [O]
Partition hard drives: [O] - maybe - used fdisk to generate SGI format
Create file systems: [E] - failure on swap
Mount partitions: [ ]
Install base system: [ ]
Install boot loader: [ ]
Reboot: [ ]
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Comments/Problems:
Booted with th following at the firmware prompt:
bootp(): append="devfs=mount"
Confusion of partition numbering:
partconf: Creating swap on /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part13
mkswap: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part13: No such file or directory
should be
mkswap /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part4
Once this failure occurs, the installer looses its mind about which
partition to mount as /
In running partman to not use the swap partition, I seem to have
lost the ext3 option on formating /
And it fails to mount /, maybe due to some of the same confusion
of partition numbering as made the swap creation fail.
