Good thing about sysinst that it helps partition and label your drive,
and it initializes network for you. As soon as you already got it done:
1) exit sysinst
2) newfs /dev/sd1a
3) mount /deb/sd1a /mnt
4) newfs /dev/sd1[e-h] # whatever is supposed to be your /usr
5) mkdir /mnt/usr; mount /dev/sd1[e-h] /mnt/usr
I think you'll need network at this point to download sets
ifconfig hme0 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 media auto
route add default [your router's ip]
ftp 192.168.1.2
6) cd /mnt
7) tar -xzpvf /mnt/INSTALL/*.tgz
8) cd /mnt/dev
9) ./MAKEDEV std
8) edit /mnt/etc/fstab
cat > /mnt/etc/fstab
/dev/sd1a / ffs rw 1 1
/dev/sd1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sd1[e-h] /usr ffs rw 1 2
^D
reboot from sd1a
I believe it enought for single-user boot, everything should work for
root at this point.
