Re: Fwd: Bug#693510: installation report

Hi Anton,

I have another question about your kfreebsd-9 install within VirtualBox
last week.

> update-dev: warning: unable to find udevadm; skipping

Was the Virtualbox IDE disk blank?  Or had anything been installed to it
previously?

Most crucially, a pre-existing ZFS physical volume might cause this
problem (it seems to be automatically imported, meaning the partition
itself would be 'in use' and even the partition table cannot be modified
if this happens).

Thanks,
Regards,
