Jordan K. Hubbard once stated: => sysinstall writing out an entry into /boot/loader.conf : => => root_disk_unit="where i installed freebsd" = =Send diffs. I'm not sure how to figure this out from sysinstall in a =meaningful way, myself. I upgraded my special someone's -stable from the summer's to Nov 1st and the thing does not boot. What used to be wd1 is now wd2. I tried to change the `config kernel root on wd2' -- did not seem to affect anything. Then I found root_disk_unit is the loader(8) and tried setting it. Now at the boot time, the kernel says (correctly) "switching to wd2s1a" and then hangs :(incorrectly); I was booting with `-v', so my attempts to Alt-Fk were echoed on the console, but the gettys never satrted... boot_askname did not have any effect (was it supposed to in the presence of root_disk_unit?). The subject of my attention was getting noticeably irritated, so I switched to kernel.old, fixed the fstab back to wd1 and booted... But I could not investigate further for a sensible PR... -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
