autoinstall early-commands

[Jerry Geis]

I am trying to write some commands in the early-commands section that

needs to check if /dev/sda1 exists, if so mount it , cp off /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth to /target/root/ifcfg-eth0

however I dont know how to do the first mount such that autoinstall is happy and does not exit with error if /dev/sda1 does not exits.

How do you do that ?

Thanks,

Jerry

IIUC "early-commands" are shell commands? If so, then just use the
shell command "if" ("test").

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ test -e /dev/sdz1; echo $?
1
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ test -e /dev/sda1; echo $?
0
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ if [ -e /dev/sdz1 ]; then echo "mount && cp"; fi
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ if [ -e /dev/sda1 ]; then echo "mount && cp"; fi
mount && cp
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$
