[Systeminstaller-users] Changing an install script to Deploy across two Drives

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I have gone in and edited three seperate files in an attempt to move
/usr/local to a seperate drive, /dev/hdd1 to be exact.  The install
seems to be partially sucessfull.  Autoinstall partitions both disks and
starts copying all of the filesystem over.  However when it gets to the
point of running
chroot /a/ systemconfigurator --configsi --stdin <<EOF
I get an illegal operation

The three files I edited were www4.image01a.master
/etc/hosts --> /var/lib/systemimager/scripts/hosts
/etc/systemimager/mounted_filesystems

The changes made to these three file systems were to allow /usr/local to
be installed on a second drive (/dev/hdd1) All of the scripts worked
fine but came up with the chroot error.

I changed all of the files I modified back to my original files (yes I
actually made copies of those files before modifying them) and I am
still getting the same error.  I have gone through the manual for
systemimager and looked at the FAQ.  I have checked to make sure the
image has the same version of both systemconfigurator and systemimager
installed and both are the same.  None of the files within the image
itself were modified.

And now for the long part.  Below are the original
www4.image.01a.master, mounted_filesystems, and autoinstallscript.conf

# Q1) Why did they get started in the first place?  
# A1) So we can pull a local.cfg file off a root mounted software RAID
system.
#     They may not be started on your system -- they would only be
started if
#     you did the stuff in Q3 below.
#
# Q2) Why didn't my local.cfg on my root mounted software RAID work for
me 
#     with the standard kernel flavour?
# A2) The standard kernel flavour uses modules for the software RAID
drivers --
#     therefore, software RAID is not available at the point in the boot
process
#     where BOEL needs to read the local.cfg file.  They are only pulled
over 
#     when this script is run, which is, of course, only runnable if it
was
#     pulled over the network using the settings that you would have
wanted it
#     to get from the local.cfg file, which it couldn't.  Right?
#
# Q3) Whatever.  So how do I make it work with a local.cfg file on my
root
#     mounted software RAID?  
# A3) Compile an autoinstall kernel with software RAID, and any other
drivers 
#     you might need built in (filesystem, SCSI drivers, etc.).
