Description Mark Guertin 2002-12-06 14:53:28 UTC

Hey rajiv 
 
In that code listing it shows to mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev 
 
This is _very_ bad, shoudn't be there :) 
 
a) its not needed as default nodes are provided in chroot and again from 
baselayout ebuild 
b) it means that any changes that install does affect your host system and not 
chroot (bad news if installing from another OS and not boot media) 
c) if using devfs (which all the current boot media does) it stops your 
installation dead with a failure in baselayout because you cannot write nodes 
to a devfs filesystem 
 
Could you update to remove this line this asap please?  very crucial one :) 
 
Thanks 
 
Gerk

fixed gentoo-xml/htdocs/doc/en/gentoo-ppc-install.xml cvs. the x86 install does
not say to mount /dev; should this be removed from the sparc install guide?

fyi, this line was added due to bug 8830.

es/gentoo-sparc-install.xml.
