Base System Installation Checklist:
Initial boot worked: [O]
Configure network HW: [O]
Config network: [E]
Detect CD: [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [O]
Partition hard drives: [O]
Create file systems: [O]
Mount partitions: [O]
Install base system: [O]
Install boot loader: [E]
Reboot: [O]
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Comments/Problems:
1. Installation reports failure to recognize keyboard. This bit works
when using netboot/beta3.
2. Config network (DHCP) succeeds, but fails to create proper
/etc/resolv.conf. Fixing this manually (echo nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
> /etc/resolv.conf) makes next step proceed w/o errors. This is also no
problem in netboot/beta3.
3. Partition for yaboot was created manually. After that, partioning of
disk (singe filesystem) works fine. This requires a recent build since
the IDE driver is not compiled into the kernel for beta3.
4. For base system install it is necessary to choose 'unstable' since
the necessary kernel is not available in testing (yet). Also running
discover from testing makes the machine hang while discover v2
(unstable) seems to work fine.
5. Automatic installation of yaboot is reported to fail. However,
manually running yabootconfig from a chroot does install the bootloader
succesfully:
chroot /target
mount -t proc procfs /proc
yabootconfig
umount /proc
exit
Generally, the first stage installation looks very promising, but seems
to lack robustness when things don't go as planned. The second stage
installation looks very nice.
