Good day!



My English is bad. Sorry :(



In Handbook:

In Part 2 not present 2.12.

In Part 3 in 3.12.1 "Installing FreeBSD on a System without a Monitor or
Keyboard"

(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-advanced.
html)

had written:

                2. Enabling the Installation CD to Boot into a Serial
Console

                ...

                    # mkisofs -v -b boot/cdboot -no-emul-boot -r -J -V
"Headless_install" \

                        -o Headless-FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso
/path/to/headless-iso

                ...



When I execute this command in FreeBSD 9.1, I have after boot message below:

                Trying to mount root from
cd9660:/dev/iso9660/FREEBSD_INSTALL [ro]...

                mountroot: waiting for device /dev/iso9660/FREEBSD_INSTALL
...

                Mounting from cd9660:/dev/iso9660/FREEBSD_INSTALL failed
with error 19.



                Loader variables:

                   vfs.root.mountfrom=cd9660:/dev/iso9660/FREEBSD_INSTALL

                   vfs.root.mountfrom.options=ro



                Manual root filesystem specification:

                <fstype>:<device> [options]

                                Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>

                                and with the specified (optional) option
list.



                                eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a

                                               zfs:tank

                                               cd9660:/dev/acd0 ro

                                                               (which is
equivalent to: mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/acd0 /)



                ?                                            List valid disk
boot devices

                .                                             Yield 1 second
(for background tasks)

                <empty line>                     Abort manual input
mountroot>



IMHO, for FreeBSD 9.x must be written:

                    # mkisofs -v -b boot/cdboot -no-emul-boot -r -J -V
"FREEBSD_INSTALL" \

                        -o Headless-FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso
/path/to/headless-iso

And correct FreeBSD version number must be in command in 3.12.1.



With best regards,

                Ivan Trifonov
