I have an Old machine (486/33, single 500MB IDE drive) that has been running FreeBSD for a Long Time (at least 4 or 5 years). I'm trying to update the OS. Unfortunately, neither the 2.2.6 or 2.2.7 kernels will boot on this system. I get: panic: cannot mount root when I boot the kernel. I've run a MAKEDEV on wd0 to make sure the right /dev/entries are there. /etc/fstab is: /dev/wd0a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/wd0s1 /dos msdos rw,noauto 1 1 /dev/wd0g /usr ufs ro 1 1 /dev/wd0f /var ufs rw 1 1 /dev/wd0b none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 FWIW, /dev now has: /dev/rwd0 /dev/rwd0s1 /dev/rwd0s2 /dev/wd0f /dev/wd0s1f /dev/rwd0a /dev/rwd0s1a /dev/rwd0s3 /dev/wd0g /dev/wd0s1g /dev/rwd0b /dev/rwd0s1b /dev/rwd0s4 /dev/wd0h /dev/wd0s1h /dev/rwd0c /dev/rwd0s1c /dev/wd0 /dev/wd0s1 /dev/wd0s2 /dev/rwd0d /dev/rwd0s1d /dev/wd0a /dev/wd0s1a /dev/wd0s3 /dev/rwd0e /dev/rwd0s1e /dev/wd0b /dev/wd0s1b /dev/wd0s4 /dev/rwd0f /dev/rwd0s1f /dev/wd0c /dev/wd0s1c /dev/rwd0g /dev/rwd0s1g /dev/wd0d /dev/wd0s1d /dev/rwd0h /dev/rwd0s1h /dev/wd0e /dev/wd0s1e What do I need to do to get this system to boot with a recent kernel?
