Comments/Problems:
Installed via serial console.
Using partman I wiped the old partition table and tried going through
the guided partitioning. It dies with the following:
Failed to partition the selected disk
This probably happened because there are too many (primary) partitions
in the partition table.
Going back, this is what shows up:
SCSI1 (0,1,0) - 2.1 GB SEAGATE ST32550W SUNW2.1G
> #1 785.2 MB B f ext3 /
Opening a shell and running parted I get the message
Warning: The disk CHS geometry (1009,67,62) does not match the geometry
stored on the disk label (1009,19,80).
Ignore/Cancel?
I then tried to recreate the disk label using 'mklabel sun'. Going back
to the menu and trying to partitin disks caused parted to segfault.
I started the install from the beginning and this time partitioning
worked. I had it use free space, all in one partition and got this result
SCSI1 (0,1,0) - 2.1 GB SEAGATE ST32550W SUNW2.1G
> #1 2.0 GB B f ext3 /
> #2 127.6 MB f swap swap
When the system rebooted I got the following message:
zs_close: bad serial port count; tty->count is 1, info->count is 3
In the second stage, the borders in the screens looked something like
ZDDD ... DDD?
3 3
3 3
...
3
@DDD ... DDDY
Hitting return caused "^[[?1;2c" to appear at the bottom of the screen.
The same string appeared when trying to set the root password and the
screen acted as if the return key had been entered.
Got the serial error message again:
zs_close: bad serial port count; tty->count is 1, info->count is 2
Running base-config again resulted in the correct border lines being
shown and none of the above problems.
