Hi, all I need building my own install server and want install my custom world, custom kernel and other in non-interactive mode. With 6.1-beta3 it work in mass (I not try install my kernel). With 6.1-beta4 and more fresh I can't get non-interactive installation. 1. I can't find how to select timezone non-interactive. 2. I can't good variant for installing my own kernel (now I use command=/dist/my.custom.installer system /dist/my.custom.installer -- simple script: ---------------- #!/bin/sh cd /dist/kernels ./install.sh OILSPACE1 rm -rf /boot/kernel ln -s /boot/OILSPACE1 /boot/kernel ---------------- but it's hack. Also I have question about making my own release. I can't understand, how to create my own loader.conf for pxeboot. Default not work -- machine panic with "no init" diagnose. Reason -- need string in loader.conf: vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:/dev/md0c" (I need some another strings for my own loader.conf) For creating release I use command: make release BUILDNAME=6.1-PRERELEASE CHROOTDIR=/usr/release \ CVSROOT=/home/ncvs EXTSRCDIR=/usr/src KERNELS=OILSPACE1 \ LOCAL_PATCHES=/usr/src_local_patches NO_FLOPPIES=yes NO_ISOS=yes \ NODOC=yes NOPORTS=yes RELEASETAG=RELENG_6 KERNELS_BASE="OILSPACE1 \ GENERIC" My local patches -- only new unionfs currently. install.cfg I put in /usr/src/release directory. Can anybody help me with auto-select timezone, right way for installing kernel and place in source tree for PXE loader.conf?

Next if your CMOS clock is set to local time you need to create empty file /etc/wall_cmos_clock.> 2.

Doing that would require a small change to release/Makefile to make "GENERIC" a name you can set from the command line. I'm not sure when the custom installer script gets run but be sure to look at install.c:installFixupKernel as it might explain some of your problems. There was also a bug in the install.sh script that was fixed after BETA4. In general the recent changes for packaging+installing kernels should simplify _adding_ custom kernels to an install but not replacing GENERIC and/or SMP kernel configurations.> > > Also I have question about making my own release. > > I can't understand, how to create my own loader.conf for pxeboot. > Default not work -- machine panic with "no init" diagnose.

KERNELS is documented as a knob to set to add additional kernel configurations to an iso.> > My local patches -- only new unionfs currently. > install.cfg I put in /usr/src/release directory. > > Can anybody help me with auto-select timezone, right way for > installing kernel and place in source tree for PXE loader.conf?I don't know about the timezone setting. Hopefully the above helps with setting up a custom kernel. FWIW I used qemu to test the release+sysinstall changes (in case you aren't aware of it). Sam
