The mountroot was failing to find and mount /dev/da0s1a. The device /dev/da0s1a is in /etc/fstab. Going to the loader prompt and loading the old kernel booted fine. So the problem appears to lie somewhere in the boot files or I added a option/device I probably should not have in the kernel. > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian A.
