Since this was a netinst, I installed without network. - The hard disk was properly discovered, but the partitioning step was awfully slow. I noticed on console 4 that it was complaining about partitions not being properly aligned on slices, about 5 times, one per second. There was indeed an already-installer Debian Linux System, which I was overwriting. It seemed like the existing partitioning disturbed partman to the point that it kept being busy for 5 seconds (spitting the warning every second) at basically each step, thus making the whole process extremely long. I had chosen ZFS everywhere, and a separate /var and /usr, - Installation then proceeded fine. - The boot loader step failed at first. console 4 was complaining that /boot/zfs wasn't existing. I mkdired it by hand, and then it proceeded fine. - It rebooted fine, I configured the serial console in both grub and inittab/securetty. - However, /usr and /var were not mounted. Actually /etc/fstab did not even mention them. I tried to mount them by hand, but even though the zfs module is loaded, I failed to manage to mount them. I've tried the following: root@hermes:/# mount /dev/da0s8 /usr mount: /dev/da0s8 : Invalid argument root@hermes:/# mount /dev/da0s8 /usr -t zfs mount: /dev/da0s8 : Invalid argument root@hermes:/# mount /dev/da0s8 /usr -t zfs -o local mount: /dev/da0s8 : Invalid argument I know very little about kfreebsd, so maybe I am missing some way to mount it in a more low-level way. - The zfsutils package is not installed (though I do remember having seen in the log that partman scheduled its installation, but apparently the .deb is not on the netinst CD) - Trying to mount a CD brought me: root@hermes:/# mount /dev/cd0 /mnt/mnt -t cd9660 mount_cd9660: error while loading shared libraries: libkiconv.so.4: cannot ope which is indeed supposed to be in /usr/lib - A last concern is that the hardware network console (BMC) is on COM2, not COM1, so the -h option to the kernel is not enough to get console there.
