>Description:
sysinstall documentation shows install.cfg option to install generic kernel as
dists=base generic
distSetCustom
but it doesn't work that way, it must be
dists=base GENERIC
distSetCustom
for sysinstall to pickup and install the kernel.
>How-To-Repeat:
write an install.cfg script with such options set:
mediaSetCDROM
dists=base generic lib32
distSetCustom
disk=ad0
partition=all
bootManager=boot
diskPartitionEditor
ad0s1-1=ufs 1048576 /
ad0s1-2=swap 1048576 none
ad0s1-3=ufs 2097152 /tmp 1
ad0s1-4=ufs 8388608 /var 1
ad0s1-5=ufs 0 /usr 1
diskLabelEditor
installCommit
put the script on either floppy or custom CD and make sysinstall pick it up and run.
>Fix:
fix the documentation to show
dists List of distributions to load. Possible distribution
values are:
base The base binary distribution.
GENERIC The GENERIC kernel.
