Hey to all.

I tried to install -current on an aging IIsi. FIrst I tried some late 1.6
versions and then 2.0. I always got the same error: Using sysinst breaks
when trying to format the partitions just created. I t tries to fsck the
disk, reports a bad superbloc... or it fails to openpty() or similar
problems.
Entering a shell and doing a manual newsf and fsk_ffs on the partition works
fine.

I tried mounting the disk externally to a quadra, retried, same errors.


While using a 1.6.2 install kernel worked fine, I partitioned installed...
and then upgrared to 2.0beta using the sets found on releng by unpacking
them.

Apart from a missing smmsp user... everything seems fine and happy! I
remounted the disk on the IIsi and it works fine, but it needs a card
withthe external FPU (which I fortunately have and I get a NuBus slot too
for ethernet card). W/o I get a kernel FPU trap at startup.
