This evening I tried to update it to 9.1. I don't "update in place", I update by wiping the prior version and letting the new version have its way with the disk. Well, 9.1 has issues with my system (dmesg is at the end of this message). When I boot from the install DVD, I see a lot of messages along the lines of ~Root mount waiting for GRAID~, then eventually that times out and I am allowed to select the Install option. However, when I get to the partitioning (btw, it's another issue, but the new set of screens to partition the drive really suck. I've never been so confused by a FreeBSD install. But I digress...) I eventually selected "auto" partitioning. Then I am greeted with a pop up that informs me that ada0 is not valid for some unmentioned reason. (did I mention that the new partitioning screens suck?). At this point I give up, and I am now in the process of re-installing 9.0. I'm not a long-time user of FreeBSD, I've only been using it since 2005, with installs to keep it up to date through the varied and sundry versions. But this is The First Time that a FreeBSD install has failed. What's goin' on? Here's the 9.0 dmesg I promised earlier (ada0 seems to be the drive that confuses the install): $ dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-2012 The FreeBSD Project.
