When bsdinstall fails to do something, it throws away input I previously gave to it. Specifically if it fails during distribution extraction, it resets: - distribution selection - partition selection Curiously it keeps keyboard layout and hostname. Maybe because it retrieves those from OS rather than keeping track of them itself. bsdinstall should store all input I gave to it and apply it before prompting me with dialogs that I already responded to. Also, it should not restart from the beginning when a step fails but only restart that step. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
