Hi!
After updating to BETA4 I have started experiencing problems booting the
system with msdos partitions in fstab.
The filesystem checks in the early part of the bootstrap produces the message
msdosfs: Unable to load iconv library: Shared object "libiconv.so" not found,
required by "msdosfs"
: Unknown error: 0
msdosfs: msdosfs_iconv: No such file or directory
I saw this message in case of only msdosfs compiled in kernel and when all
msdosfs, msdosfs_iconv, libiconv are compiled in.
Strange, that it happens only during the second or third boot, and then
persist until I comment out the corresponding line from fstab
"/dev/ad0s2 /mnt msdosfs
rw,-uusov,-gusov,-m644,-M755,-Wkoi2dos,-Lru_RU.KOI8-R 0 0"
to let it boot. Then it's possible to mount it manually.
Strange, that afterwards it gives you one-two more successful boots, and
strarts complaining again.
Also, when it complaind and proposes a shell to correct the problem, manual
mounts also fail, but just letting it to boot corrects the problem and
mounting starts working fine.
IMHO it looks like a some problem with ld cache, but I didn't tried yet if
rebuilding it will help.
