Depending on whether the misnamed variable is the only problem, it may
or may not be fixed soon.
In the meantime, the current method to solve this is:
1) make sure you have MAKEDEV'd all your hdXsY instances correctly
2) run through the installer, noting where you told the script to
mount everything.
3) after a suspiciously short 'install' (that does not actually
install) you will find that you can run 'fsysopts /mnt --writable'
4) If the install still fails (I'm not quite sure about the most
recent CD - I've only used older versions), you should 'settrans -a
/mnt /hurd/ext2fs /dev/hdXsY' (where X and Y refer to the partition
you wished to mount as your root). Âsettrans -a is similar to the
'mount' command when you specify /hurd/ext2fs, so you will be able to
build what your system should look like within /mnt, including
mounting separate /boot, /home, etc.
5) Once you run through the installer again, it will actually install.
We apologize again for the bugs with the LiveCD.
