Re: [issue1292] dfly-2.2.0-REL: Installer Bug

["M.K." <mk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I always do a fresh install.

*** I JUST FOUND THE INSTALLER BUG ***

Just comparing install logs (on Alt-F1 screen):


DFly 2.0.1-REL:

-<<< Executing `cd /dev && /bin/test -c ad0s3a || /bin/sh MAKEDEV ad0s3a'
->>> Exit status: 0

-<<< Executing `/sbin/newfs ...etc


DFly 2.2.0-REL:

-<<< Executing `cd /dev && /bin/echo ad0s3a || /bin/sh MAKEDEV ad0s3a'
| ad0s3a
->>> Exit status: 0

-<<< Executing `/sbin/newfs ...etc


There is the problem, "echo ad0s3a" always returns 0, so MAKEDEV never 
happens.

Cheers, MK
