Re: kFreeBSD: can't create swap partition
Sorry for the unfinished message, my fingers were not precise enough
and/or too fast (tab and then space, instead of a and space... and the
message is sent :/)
I have decided to give a try to the amd64 kFreeBSD port, testing
version, hosted by virtualbox on a Debian amd64 testing.
I had some warnings that the installer asked me if I wanted to ignore
(and that I stupidly forgot to write somewhere, but I'll probably do
more than one installation so I'll find them anew later to report
them) and I did it.
I also tried to do a remote installation through ssh for better
interface (virtualbox is horrible on that) but the installer
never gave me an IP address (this is probably due to the NAT interface
of VBox I have used, so not a real problem I think. I should try the
same with regular Linux kernel to check this hypothesis).
Now, when coming to the partition creation, it seems that it is
unable to create the swap partition. I will probably try to continue
without one, but in the meantime, if someone have any clue about the
problem, it will interest me.
The log (TTY4) if filled with messages like this:
Processing event '!system=DEVFS subsystem=CDEV type=CREATE
cdev=diskid/DISK-VB291c06cf-2fef52d2s8'
devd: Pushing table
