Then, it tries to remount / on ad0s4a and can't find it. Since there's no extra mounting activity that goes on on single-user mode vs. multi-user mode, I'm suspicious that you've probably gone and done something else as well that we're not hearing about. Regardless, this is typically syptomatic of either a very old /boot/loader, non-use of the loader eg. through a /boot.config file, or an error in the entry for / in /etc/fstab. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
