It boots from Bios ok, but appears to have some problem with /boot/loader, and stops at the following message/prompt: Manual root filesystem specification: : Mount using filesystem eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a ? List valid disk boot devices Abort manual input mountroot> If I enter "ufs:/dev/twed0s1e" at this point (where /stand/sysinstall ended up putting the root partition when it was a secondary drive) it boots as normal. I've tried adding rootdev=/dev/twed0s1e in /boot/loader.conf but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I've also tried making sure that /boot is also available on /dev/twed0s1a, where I think it's getting some boot information from. Basically I'd like this system to bootup automatically instead of pausing at this prompt. Any ideas?
