I cut the cd with an iso produced with mkisofs, it has /boot /bin /sbin and kernel on it (the same kernel as the one on the CD's boot image). The kernel has been built with the CD9660_BOOT option set. This is what happens: On bootup, I tell loader to boot_askname then I do a boot. It loads the kernel and then asks me where my root is (the kernel lists my CD as acd) I try something like cd9660_boot:acd0 and I get the following error: Mounting root from cd9660_boot:acd0 iso_mountroot: can't find rootvp I don't know what this means, what is the rootvp? I tried freebsd-questions yesterday, but there was no reply, so I'm hoping someone here can help me. How do I get the kernel to mount my CD as root now? Any hints would be greatly recieved.
