The installer is still broken. I used the installer from 13.1.2010. I had to use the manual partitioning (the automatic did not work) and I choose to install only 79 packages - system utilities and the result was that the system has halted. I have chosen to use UFS file system.
It seems like a problem that was reported previously, which prevents the system from mounting the root file system, still exists. Please fix the installer, Cheers, Anton ----- Original Message ----- From: "Petr Salinger" <petr.salin...@seznam.cz> To: billnick...@hotmail.com Cc: debian-bsd@lists.debian.org Sent: Monday, 11 January, 2010 2:18:30 PM Subject: Re: Install ?? > Followed the install through the return out of Alt-F3 back to Freebsd > sysinstall.

Now, the debian-installer images should be mature enough: http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/kfreebsd-amd64/ and http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/kfreebsd-i386/ Anyway, you should have the basic system now. Please add into /etc/apt/sources.list line like deb http://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free and run "apt-get update", "apt-get dist-upgrade". After that, you can install individual packages like xorg, xserver-xorg etc using "apt-get install xorg". The problem might be uninstalability of some packages due to ongoing transition. I recomend also to install 8.0 based kernel, either kfreebsd-image-8-amd64 or choose one from kfreebsd-image-8-486/kfreebsd-image-8-686/kfreebsd-image-8-686-smp.
