I don't like changes in the ISO image so that there is no way to boot that image from syslinux. FreeBSD 8.x boots perfectly because it contains mount CD-ROM (and ISO) to /dev/md0, while 9.0 has not. (see,there). Yes, I know about memstick image. But I want to have already have been worked ability to multiboot USB flash.
Installer. I understand that it's a step to user-friendliness. But:
Excuse my impulsiveness, but these changes drive me crazy, especially with broken support of boot ISO image.
IMHO, it's the wrong way.
Installer. I understand that it's a step to user-friendliness. But:
- Where is the ability for advanced users?
- Where is the "Alt+F4 shell", where you can view the process of installation?
- How can I change the installation source?
- How can I set up an interface, if I can't even view is it up or down?
- And, by the way, isn't a time to make netmask in /xx format instead of decimal xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx?
- Why don't try to generate the default route from IP and netmask as Ubuntu does: by finding out minimal allowed host IP in this network and proposing it as a router IP?
- If I do label a partition, why is it not used in /etc/fstab?
- Where is promised ZFS install support?
