Thetail end of this script also mounts a couple of additional filesystemsunder /mnt so that chrooted programs can work such as devfs and/packages.When the "Shell" option is used to permit the user to manually mountthe destination filesystem, the "mount" script is not used as the useris instructed to mount the target filesystems and construct/mnt/etc/fstab, etc. However, this means that the user is responsiblefor mounting devfs (which is not included in /etc/fstab) and /packagesas well. The help message for the "Shell" option doesn't mentionthese requirements, so users may not know to do so. This can lead toconfusing errors as chrooted commands can fail to find needed /deventries. For example, running fwget to fetch wireless firmware failsbecause /dev/pci doesn't exist.To make this less painful for users using this option, split out thebottom half of the 'mount' script that mounts these non-fstab-relatedfilesystems into a separate 'mount_aux' script. Invoke 'mount_aux'after using "Shell" to create the filesystem to ensure that thesefilesystems are always present.PR: 290901Reported by: Peter <freebsd@peterk.org>Tested by: Peter <freebsd@peterk.org>Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D53770 List of files: /src/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/mount_aux Mon, 08 Dec 2025 21:33:30 +0000 John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> http://opengrok.net:8080/history/src/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/mount_aux#f63a8c0a0915a3eceac179d4d18b2c03b1319fa2 bsdinstall: Mount /dev and /packages after using the shell to partition disksNormally after partitions are created by the installer, the 'mount'script is used to mount the target disk partitions under /mnt.
