MAYBE THIS INFO will help someone else. I rebuilt a kernel and did not do make world. However, I got the kernel to work finally. Until I got the fstab right I could not boot the new kernel. Anyways when I was unsuccessfull booting the new kernel I had to reboot boot **** kernel.old ****** still had a problem with fstab. had to mount -o rw -u /dev/wd0a / mount -a -t ufs swapon -a cd /etc and vi fstab Things just didn't work no matter what I did /dev/wd0s1a ...wd0s2a etc. Until I went to /dev/ did: sh MAKEDEV wd0s2a changed the /etc/fstab to : Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/wd0s2a / ufs rw 1 1 And rebooted. Well what do you expect for a newbie. ! However all is working fine now... If this info can help anyone else I'll be happy. One day I plan on contributing to FreeBSD Project.
