Hello all! Two small issues... 1) After sucessfully configuring a set of systems which come up diskless (thank you for the fine documentation), these still try to mount root from /dev/ad0s1a: . . Adjusted interface xl0 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a no such device 'ad' setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 Mounting root from nfs: NFS ROOT: 192.168.200.3:/diskless_root NFS SWAP: 192.168.200.3:/diskless_swap . . After this the system comes up fine. The kernel is compiled without ata and friends. Should a kernel option like ROOTDEVNAME be used ? I checked the 'loader' and 'pxeboot' documentation, the mailing lists and it is not obvious how to "fix" this. 2. do you see any inconvenient in totally removing all UFS options from the kernel ? These systems have no hard drives... That's all for now. Thank you for time. Joao To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
