First Boot issues

Tried marking the script as executable – no luck there. (Root/Wheel RWXR–R–)

So you’ve marked it as executable and when you type sudo ./firstboot.sh it won’t run? what does it say?

So – turns out the version of PackageMaker I have was running off a 10.5 partition on the same physical disk.

I’m going back through everything, will re-build with a local version of PackageMaker on 10.6, with the original 644 permissions (root/wheel), and report back. I’ll build the package and run on a partition and reboot – if it works, I’ll try inserting into build.

I’m going to be more than a bit embarrassed if that turns out the be all that’s going on here.

Should that not work, I’ll attempt rwxr-xr-x (root/wheel). Run on partition and then insert into build on success.

Running with local PackageMaker 3.0.4 seems to have corrected the odd owner/group issues – Root/Wheel is correct now.

It does appear that execute permissions are required though – RW-R–R– didn’t work for me, but RWXR-XR-X did.

Now making change to the sequencing of the kill/reboot in the script.

Commented out the reboot command, and un-commented the shutdown command. That did the trick.

Building the entire shebang into an image now, will re-image and test.

Sounds good! Let me know how it turns out.
