Countdown 1.5

Isn't it strange how the closer you get to Christmas, the faster time simply disappears ..

Too many things to do, not enough time ..

Couple of points to note:

  • If the sequence of discs listed in /dev/discs is not sequential, grub-install will fail
    (so /dev/disc0 , /dev/disc1 is Ok, /dev/disc1 , /dev/disc2 will fail)
  • Booting from CD has a nasty habit of yielding no-sequential lists in /dev/discs
  • Duplicate links in /dev/discs will cause grub-install to fail
    (so ln /dev/disc0 /dev/disc2 will cause disc0 and disc2 to point at the same device, will will fail!)
I've now corrected the install script to re-sequentialise the entries in /dev/discs (if they are incorrect, which they seem to be quite often) and then to remove any duplicate entries using a readlink comparison. (my first ever use of arrays in /bin/sh!)

Building again ... :-(
