>Description:
when installing/upgrading NetBSD on an Amiga, you are asked to select
a medium for installation. Selecting "cdrom" gives you a selection
of the available CD drives in the system. If you choose any other
option than "cd0" the script exits with an error.
>How-To-Repeat:
start an update procedure on a system with more than one CDROM drive.
proceed to the question which medium to use for the packages.
select "cd1"; script will exit because /dev/cd1c (and /dev/cd1a)
don't exist.
>Fix:
when creating the install image, issue e.g. the commands
mknod /mnt/dev/cd1a b 7 16
mknod /mnt/dev/cd1c b 7 18
when it is mounted under /mnt.
Also
mknod /mnt/dev/cd2a b 7 32
mknod /mnt/dev/cd2c b 7 34
to handle a 3rd drive. That should be enough and it only uses
some inodes.
