suse 9.1: Problem when installing the bootloader

18 Aug 2004

      Hello list,

I am trying to autoinstall a suse 9.1.
I also collected all needed rpms on one CD, so that I will only need 
this single one.
Everything works fine, all software packages are installed until he 
tries to install to bootloader.

He then complains about /dev/fd/62 and tells me there is not entry / in 
the /etc/fstab.

I do not know, where he is looking for the fstab!?

I attach my autoinst.xml, which I have placed in my boot/loader/initrd

Any Ideas, how I can get the bootloader installed?

Regards
Cornelius
