I've been fighting to find a way to install -CURRENT pure on my workstation
using the 4.7 CD I just got in the mail, to no avail, because of the
bin->base thing. But with the 4.7 installer, bouncing around in the FTP
and networking screens, having done the "restart sysinstall" thing once,
I managed to get a SIG11, though I couldn't reproduce it with debugging on.
Anyone with a good idea on how to bootstrap a _clean_ 5.0 install to a
box with only a CDROM drive, and 4.7 CD, with broken PXE firmware, and
an IDE disk which can be thrashed, by all means tell me... I'd imagine
that I could just use the mfsroot and kernel, but there's no way for me
to disable atkbd/atkbdc that _I_ know of, in the post-userconfig world,
and my keyboard is broken at the mountroot> prompt, as the atkbdc
detected based on my usb keyboard makes neither interface work, as both
are exposed to the kernel.
I've never had to install CURRENT on here without the ability to burn a
bootable CD, and use userconfig... Yes, it was that long ago that I did
my initial install.
Thoughts?
Yes, I could build my own kernel and fake it, but I can't do that in a
"real, user environment", and I'd love to have some idea of what might be
possible...
Damned Korean legacy-free box :/
Thanks,
juli.
