Last minute errata:
|
||||||
|
-------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
o login as root produces "login_getclass: unknown class 'root'" on system
|
||||||
|
console.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Fix: If you have the source distribution installed, simply
|
||||||
|
cp /usr/src/etc/login.conf /etc
|
||||||
|
otherwise, get it from the FreeBSD FTP site using this URL:
|
||||||
|
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/etc/login.conf
|
||||||
|
instead. Simply cd to /etc and then run fetch(1) with the provided URL.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
o sysconfig scrambles rc.conf if run again.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Fix: Get updated /usr/src from RELENG_2_2 branch and build
|
||||||
|
/usr/src/release/sysinstall, copying the new binary to /stand.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you do not have enough space for src then you could also
|
||||||
|
use the boot/fixit floppy combo from a later 2.2-YYMMDD-RELENG
|
||||||
|
release to simply mount your root partition (using the Fixit
|
||||||
|
option) and copy /stand/sysinstall from the floppy to /stand on
|
||||||
|
your root fs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
o Installation floppy does not boot at all - whereas the 2.2.1 floppy
|
||||||
|
worked fine. I get a "panic: double fault" right after it tries to
|
||||||
|
change the root device to fd0c.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Fix: The problem is that you have 48MB of RAM and something very very
|
||||||
|
mysterious has happened to FreeBSD twixt 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 which makes
|
||||||
|
it fail with just that exact memory size. Given the popularity of
|
||||||
|
16MB simms, it also explains why none of us have seen it since we
|
||||||
|
typically have either 16MB, 32MB or 64MB of memory in our systems. :)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We're working on finding and fixing this problem, but until then
|
||||||
|
the following work-around is in effect for 48MB systems:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Boot the 2.2.2 boot floppy and when it comes to the first menu which
|
||||||
|
asks you whether or not you want to go into the kernel configuration
|
||||||
|
editor, choose the "experts only" CLI mode option. Now type:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
iosize npx0 32768
|
||||||
|
visual
|
||||||
|
< and do your visual kernel configuration as normal then exit>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you can get through to the installation, go to step 3.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. If the above does not work, physically remove all but 32MB of memory
|
||||||
|
from your machine and then boot the boot floppy. Unless your problem
|
||||||
|
is totally weird and something we've not seen at all before, you
|
||||||
|
should now be able to go on to step 3.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. Complete the installation and then boot off your hard disk. This
|
||||||
|
boot should work fine, since you are no longer using the memory
|
||||||
|
filesystem that the installation uses and which seems to interact
|
||||||
|
badly with these memory size issues to create the failure you saw.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You will also want to boot with the -c flag at some point and
|
||||||
|
say "iosize npx0 0" to get the full use of all your memory back
|
||||||
|
since the old value of 32768 will have been saved to disk during
|
||||||
|
the initial installation. If you already plan on building a custom
|
||||||
|
kernel, you can skip this step since the value will be reset anyway.
