4. _B_u_g__F_i_x_e_s
The following bugs have been fixed in RoboInst 1.2.
+o 634496: When using the -P <digit> option to roboinst,
the roboinst_start script would always place the
auto_mr and sash files on SCSI buss 0, and if the nvram
variable SystemPartition referred to a different buss,
the system would not boot to miniroot.
+o 651528: The setenv commands were not recognized if
they did not all appear in sequence.
+o 652739: The roboinst_config script did not follow
symbolic links when constructing the .index file.
+o 659690: In the roboinst 1.1 release, custom
filesystems other than / and /usr were not mounted
correctly during miniroot installations.
The following bugs were fixed in RoboInst version 1.1, and
therefore are also included in this version 1.2 release.
These bug fixes are listed here for convenience.
+o 600197: RoboInst always assumed that the correct
version of sash was installed. This would cause
roboinst to fail to boot the miniroot on alternate disk
installs (with -P) or in some other cases with root-
disk installs. RoboInst will now check for this
condition, and if it would help, will automatically
copy sash from the root disk volume header to the
alternate disk volume header.
+o 603629: No support for the eeeellllssssiiiiffff keyword the mrconfig
file. RoboInst 1.1 now supports the eeeellllssssiiiiffff keyword.
+o 603638: Inconsistent variable processing in the
mrconfig file. RoboInst did not allow expansion of
variables in all types of statements in the mrconfig
file. For examples, variables would not be expanded in
the partition statements. RoboInst now allows
variables in all statements in the mrconfig file.
+o 619156: The -_g option is not documented in the manual
page. The -g command-line option is used to specify a
grace period before shutting down the machine. This
option was missing from the roboinst(1M) manual page.
+o 630145: RoboInst in dryrun mode (-n) can change nvram.
If the -n option was used with the -P option (alternate
disk install) roboinst would modify the OSLoadPartition
- 2 -
and SystemPartition nvram variables on the client
machines. In RoboInst 1.1, these nvram variables will
not be modified in dryrun mode.
+o 631113: roboinst -f does not install roboinst.sw.client
on 5.3 systems. This prevented roboinst from starting
on some client systems running IRIX 5.3 if the -f
option was used. This problem is fixed in RoboInst
1.1.
+o 634449: The example support script ConfigMR.pl could
in some circumstance close files prematurely, thus not
completing the configuration process. The movedir()
function could partially finish, and return failure.
Both of these problems are fixed in RoboInst 1.1.
