I tried the upgrade option and I didn't pay attention to my hard disk slices. The naming on my old root is mounted with /dev/sd01a while the upgrade function changed it to sd0a. It changes something on the disk which caused me from loading kernel at all. After that I attempted to restart with a fix disk by specifying sd(0,1a)/kernel and sd(0,a)/kernel but none of them worked. I am sure some pitiful soul had made the same mistake I did, I know the slice is still intact (I mounted them successfully) but where do I start to fix it. Help and help! I have lots of important info on the system. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
