When I install the system, it finds 2 containers aacd00 and aacd01. I install the system onto either one, or both of the containers (I've tried both). The last time, I installed to aacd01. All goes well until after the install when the system reboots. This is what I get: no devsw (majdev=0 bootdev=0xa0200000) Mounting root from ufs:/dev/aacd0s1a no such device 'aacd' setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 Manual root filesystem specification: : Mount using filesystem eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a ? List valid disk boot devices Abort manual input From what I've read, I think that's telling me FreeBSD doesn't know which disk to really mount and where to find the filesystems. is that correct? How do I fix it? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
