sysinst segfaults on Alpha ("file system full") - install help
Trying to get a NetBSD 9.0 install going on an Alpha 3000 300X workstation since Tru64 is being a pain in the butt. The install environment boots and runs, and I can do a bunch of stuff from the shell with no issues, but the installer itself craps out when partitioning the disk. I can partition the same disk with disklabel and create filesystems with newfs totally without issue, so it's not an issue with the drive - unfortunately, this doesn't give it whatever magic blessing sysinst needs to recognize the appropriate mount points automatically, and when I try to use the sysinst partition utility to do anything (even just set the mount points on already partitioned and formatted filesystems,) it kills with the following message:
Code:
/: write failed, file system is full [1] Segmentation fault I think my better shot here is: can I just avoid the sysinst partitioning utility entirely? I can do everything needed with the disk from the shell, except apparently chant the proper blessing upon the resulting partitions. How does sysinst determine which partitions in the disklabel should map to which mount points in the target install? Where is that magic documented or stored?

I cannot give you any assistance on your "sysinst" issue but .....
The mapping of BSD partitions/labels to file systems is done in the file "/etc/fstab". The following is from my OpenBSD install: Code:
hp_server$ cat /etc/fstab e9298df9f130b613.b none swap sw e9298df9f130b613.a / ffs rw 1 1 e9298df9f130b613.e /home ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2 e9298df9f130b613.d /usr ffs rw,wxallowed,nodev 1 2
