I can't use "set rootdev=" on the bootloader, because i can only use bios-detected harddisks at these moment. But - I think i can use: # # The root device and filesystem type can be compiled in; # this provides a fallback option if the root device cannot # be correctly guessed by the bootstrap code, or an override if # the RB_DFLTROOT flag (-r) is specified when booting the kernel. # options ROOTDEVNAME=\"ufs:da0s1a\" in the kernel configuration file. Ok, i try it... tomorrow (better later today ;-).
