[-- Attachment #1 --] Howdy, Beware if you are upgrading from a 7.1 system to CURRENT that you may need to have the kernel options GEOM_MBR and GEOM_BSD in your kernel. I spent a couple of hours dealing with this on my Thinkpad X60 today which had, what I thought, was a pretty simple setup of 1 slice for BSD, and a simple layout of /, swap and /usr. When I tried to boot the new kernel I got to the mount error prompt and could not mount ad4p1 or anything like it. Adding the GEOM_MBR and GEOM_BSD options back into the kernel fixed things. Happily I was able to boot 7.1 still and fix this. Best, George [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAklqkFMACgkQYdh2wUQKM9JGJACgv8LR20DbSFrZieaUDYDJ4UKw da4An3OjxmUq1eNnuhFbQxPXwdoCSimd =ilIA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
