>Release: FreeBSD 3.0-980323-SNAP
>Environment:
Compaq DeskPro 2000 with
on wdc0:
wd0 = 1.2G WDC IDE drive
No WD1 drive
on wdc1
wd1 = 2.1G WDC IDE drive
wcd0 = Generic IDE CD-ROM
As seen when booting from 2.2.6 stable from wd0, fstab looks like:
# Device Mountpoint FStype
/dev/wd2s3b none swap
/dev/wd0s3a / ufs
/dev/wd2s3e /usr ufs
/dev/wd0s3e /var ufs
proc /proc procfs
/dev/wcd0c /cdrom cd9660
/dev/wd2s3b /tmp mfs
/dev/wd0s2 /dos/c msdos
/dev/wd2s1 /dos/d msdos
/dev/wd2s2e /current/usr ufs
/dev/wd2s2a /current/root ufs
All mounts are accessible from 2.2.6.
File systems mounted on "current" are root and /usr partitions for -current
configuration, it's fstab is:
# Device Mountpoint FStype
/dev/wd2s3b none swap
/dev/wd2s2a / ufs
/dev/wd0s2 /dos/c msdos
/dev/wd2s1 /dos/d msdos
/dev/wd0s3a /stable/root ufs
/dev/wd2s3e /stable/usr ufs
/dev/wd2s2e /usr ufs
/dev/wd0s3e /var ufs
proc /proc procfs
/dev/wcd0c /cdrom cd9660
>Description:
Attempts to boot from /dev/wd2s2a cause panic when root
parition cannot be located. It incorrectly reports trying to
change to to wd1s2 ... where there is no such device in the
system.
>How-To-Repeat:
Reboot. Repeat.
>Fix:
None known.
