Been rattling my brain on this one, trying to install multiple systems using the FLASH
method from a cdrom booted image s10u10, with flar image hosted on a FTP server..

/ramdisk:a is mounted on / (and is where /a is)
Any thoughts ?
TIA, gt...

Can anyone tell me why /export and /export/home are showing up after an install? I'm assuming it's reading from the old default filesystem layout during installs but I don't see anywhere to change that.
