Yes, boot verbosely (boot -fl v from SRM, or boot -v from the boot loader), then scroll up & see what start_init() is saying about the init path. You might see something like: init: not found in path /sbin/init Also, report what it says about where it is mounting root from. It will be something like: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da1a Cheers, Drew PS: In syscons, you can scroll up by toggling scroll lock & using pgup/pgdown.
