What were you trying to do?
reinstall software (8.4 or 9.0) on a system with a 4mb disk, booting
from floppy (old sparc 5)
What's wrong:
It, by default creates a partition table that is missing the afs
cache partition. (It also creates one large root partition, rather than
/, /usr, and /var, but this isn't so much of a problem.)
What should have happened:
I would assume that the install program would figure out how to
correctly partition a drive...
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
