Hi all, I had a (mostly) working kernel based on 10 March sources. Today, 'round 2 PM EST, I sup'd again, and built the world. I can no longer build a (mostly) working kernel. My system seems to be dependent on the line: config kernel root on da0 swap on generic In my kernel config file. Especially the 'swap on generic' part. If I take it out, or replace it with anything I have tried so far, my kernel doesn't work at all. If I attempt to boot, the system attempts to change root to wd0s2b, and I get a Fatal Trap 12. Doing a trace says that it is happening in _ffs_mount(). In my (mostly) working kernel, I can succussfully boot only when I type '0:sd(0,a)/kernel -a' at the boot prompt. Anything else, and I get the same fatal trap 12 in _ffs_mount(). I suspect this may be related, which is why I bring it up. Unfortunately, today's sources don't seem to allow the 'swap on generic' anymore. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong places, but I can't seem to find any documentation as to what "swap on generic" means and what I should replace it with. help? Suggestions?
