That is, 8.0-RC1 finds the drive, but... 8.0 (RELENG_8, from last night) doesn't seem to find the FBSD partitions on the drive. It finds the drive and the BIOS partition (slice). It fails on my old motherboard (not the one above) that boots 7.2-STABLE just fine. It drops me into the menu to manually configure the root partition, but doesn't accept either the native device names for the root partition (/dev/ad0s1a) or a geom label (/dev/label/root). The list of GEOM devices only includes ad0 and ad0s1. The disk isn't dangerously dedicated, but I only added geom labels to the partitions last night. The glabels work fine under 7.2-STABLE, but RELENG_8 seems to ignore them. I've attached output from fdisk, bsdlabel, and glabel in case I'm misinterpreting them. I've been waiting for a free moment to write a more complete report, but since I've got your attention... Any ideas? I'll be able to run more diagnostics under 8.0 tonight. --=20 Ted Faber http://www.isi.edu/~faber PGP: http://www.isi.edu/~faber/pubkeys.= asc Unexpected attachment on this mail?
