this might not be a freebsd problem at all... i used yaboot 1.3.13 which runs from a linux partition to init the loader file from a yaboot boot partition using a cheap hack to link symbolically link the loader file to a fictional ofwboot file which yaboot accepts as a bsd loader (it is the netbsd loader) like so: ln -s /usr/local/lib/yaboot/loader /usr/local/lib/yaboot/ofwboot when i enter the yaboot boot menu and select the bsd option yaboot locates the original loader file and begins the boot but when the init script get to the point where its mounts the root partition in multi-user it fails to find the partition and falls back to the mountroot> prompt witch in turn fails to find the root partition when directed manually (e.g ufs:/dev/ad0s11). as i said this might be a yaboot bug or just a misuse in my part but i just want to let you know cheers gil verthaimhome | help
