installer hangs
0%
Description
installer hangs on older macbook. ive tried a few different installer settings, including hammer and hammer2. the hang happens at about 90% complete when executing /sbin/newfs_hammer -f -L ROOT /dev/serno/...
sorry i dont have much more helpful information. the usb stick i install from has a light that continues to rapidly flash during the hang. also on one install attempt the installer dropped to debug mode and complained of a NULL pointer assert. sorry i didnt capture that information, and it hasnt happened again
if i dont hear back, i intend to wait another day on this install attempt, just incase it is verrrryyyy slow rather than hung, then try UFS, thanks

im using the installer dfly-x86_64-6.4.2_REL.img
the "daily SNAPSHOT: here" link at https://www.dragonflybsd.org/download/ didnt seem to have a .iso or .img etc available
ive started a `git clone git://git.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git dragonfly` maybe i can make an .img from the source

You can download daily snapshots from here: https://mirror-master.dragonflybsd.org/snapshots/
that's a lot easier than compiling from source.

thankyou
ive looked all through that directory, and to the best of my ability, the daily snapshots are not there
https://mirror-master.dragonflybsd.org/snapshots/x86_64/images/CHECKSUM.MD5 shows for instance DragonFly-x86_64-20251203-DEV-v6.5.0.1177.gfcabea.img.bz2
but that file does not seem to be present
