However, selecting the 2nd disk, the *boot loader eventually terminates with "changing root device to wd1s1a" ( displayed message ) *instead of changing to wd2s1a ( as would be correct ). - Of course, this runs into kernel panic. * *The boot process terminates without any problems after initially selecting, explicitely, *boot: 1:wd(2,a)kernel *- Obviously , this is not a very elegant solution . * *Thus my question: * *How can I get the boot selector to change correctly on wd2s1a after selecting the second disk *in the canonical way - i.e. simply with the function keys ? * *Steffen Hein --------------58A063D1DB8270EAE0E2B645 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; name="new-registration" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="new-registration" <entry> <first>Steffen</first> <last>Dr. Hein</last> <email>hein@bnro.de</email> <address>Harthauser Str. 36 k</address> <city>Bad Aibling</city> <state>Germany</state> <zip>D-83043</zip> <options commerce_email="yes" commerce_mail="no" announce="yes" newsletter="no"></options> <version>3.0-RELEASE</version> </entry> --------------58A063D1DB8270EAE0E2B645-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
