Comments/Problems:

When installing the kernel-image package, the installer stops because:

/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: constituent device /dev/rd/disc0/part5 does not exist.
and so returns error code 1 and the installer stops.

I tried some things between disk partitioning and installing base system:

'ln -s /dev /target/dev' but then the installer stops because it can't make devices on /target/dev.

'ls -s /dev/rd/disc0 /target/dev/rd/disc0'
'ls -s /dev/rd/disc1 /target/dev/rd/disc1'

Seems to do the trick, but still the installer stops on initrd part5 does not exist.
And now it exists on /dev/rd/ and on /target/dev/rd incl all the normale devices like c0d0p5.

I looks like a problem of devfs in the installer and a normal fs in /target/dev so
the (chroot'ed??) basesystem installer get confused..

Greetings,

Willem Cazander

I'm closing this report, since after beta3, we fixed the installer to
support /dev/rd/ devices, and others. If possible, please try an install
again using the current images; I don't think you'll be disappointed.
