I am trying to mount the mfs root partition that is in the kernel in the PicoBSD package. I have mfs compiled into my kernel, and have mounted the kernel on /dev/vn0 with vnconfig, and when I attempt to mount /dev/vn0s1 into the file system, I keep getting an error message from mfs saying it can't find a disklabel. I've tried to access the mfs partition through /dev/vn0, and /dev/vn0a, and both ways I keep getting the same error message. Below is the actual output from the commands I'm trying. [root@outreach:/]# vnconfig -cv /dev/vn0 /kernel.picobsd /dev/vn0: 1274880 bytes on /kernel.picobsd [root@outreach:/]# mount -t mfs /dev/vn0a /mnt mfs: ioctl (GDINFO): Inappropriate ioctl for device mfs: /dev/vn0a: can't read disk label; disk type must be specified [root@outreach:/]# mount -t mfs /dev/vn0 /mnt mfs: ioctl (GDINFO): Inappropriate ioctl for device mfs: /dev/vn0: can't read disk label; disk type must be specified [root@outreach:/]# mount -t mfs /dev/vn0s1 /mnt mfs: ioctl (GDINFO): Inappropriate ioctl for device mfs: /dev/vn0s1: can't read disk label; disk type must be specified This is under 2.2.6-stable from about two weeks ago.
