Comments/Problems:

Hello,

Just tried to install kfreebsd-amd64 on a DELL PowerEdge, and it was
quite a failure.

- The Broadcom 14e4:164c card is not recognized, because the bce driver
  is disabled due to firmware blob. Since this was a netinst, I
  installed without network.
- The hard disk was properly discovered, but the partitioning step was
  awfully slow. I noticed on console 4 that it was complaining about
  partitions not being properly aligned on slices, about 5 times, one
  per second. There was indeed an already-installer Debian Linux System,
  which I was overwriting. It seemed like the existing partitioning
  disturbed partman to the point that it kept being busy for 5 seconds
  (spitting the warning every second) at basically each step, thus
  making the whole process extremely long.
  I had chosen ZFS everywhere, and a separate /var and /usr, 
- Installation then proceeded fine.
- The boot loader step failed at first. console 4 was complaining that
  /boot/zfs wasn't existing. I mkdired it by hand, and then it proceeded
  fine.
- It rebooted fine, I configured the serial console in both grub and
  inittab/securetty.
- However, /usr and /var were not mounted. Actually /etc/fstab did not
  even mention them. I tried to mount them by hand, but even though the
  zfs module is loaded, I failed to manage to mount them. I've tried the
  following:

root@hermes:/# mount /dev/da0s8 /usr
mount: /dev/da0s8 : Invalid argument
root@hermes:/# mount /dev/da0s8 /usr -t zfs
mount: /dev/da0s8 : Invalid argument
root@hermes:/# mount /dev/da0s8 /usr -t zfs -o local
mount: /dev/da0s8 : Invalid argument

I know very little about kfreebsd, so maybe I am missing some way to
mount it in a more low-level way.

- The zfsutils package is not installed (though I do remember having
  seen in the log that partman scheduled its installation, but
  apparently the .deb is not on the netinst CD)

- Trying to mount a CD brought me:

root@hermes:/# mount /dev/cd0 /mnt/mnt -t cd9660
mount_cd9660: error while loading shared libraries: libkiconv.so.4: cannot ope

which is indeed supposed to be in /usr/lib

- A last concern is that the hardware network console (BMC) is on COM2,
not COM1, so the -h option to the kernel is not enough to get console
there.

Hi,

thanks for submitting installation reports, much appreciated!

I've closed the ones which either have been dealt with or which are very old / 
have little information and which probably have been fixed by now. If you 
still encounter problems installing Debian/kfreebsd please submit a new bug 
report.


cheers,
	Holger
