bsdinstall(8) hiccups (resolver & entropy)

[Dave Cottlehuber]

Hi,

I've been experimenting with a variety of ways to build a raw disk image
with a zpool, suitable for cloud environments, from within an existing
vendor-provided cloud image.

This week's fiddle is using bsdinstall(8) which is working fine *except* that:

# newaliases hands until a working /etc/resolv.conf is in place

during the config stage, it needs a working resolver within the chroot,and
newaliases hangs until I copy in a suitable one to /mnt/etc/resolv.conf.

This all happens prior to my custom `bsdinstall script ..` running, is
there a way to stuff that in there prior?

# the final entropy stage fails

I'm not quite sure why but I think this may be another chrooty problem
with /dev/random. As I can modify the image later, skipping this is also
an option, if there's no other solution.

OK

Stop.
