Grmpf. First, please limit your linelength to a reasonable value. Second, you should be as exact as possible. ``Cannot mount root'' is the panic. Third, you should read docs, and failing this, please ask this to the proper support forums (questions@freebsd.org, or in Usenet). There are a lot of people being able to answer this, and no, it's not a bug. Thus, it's neither critical nor deserves a high priority. (Fourth, you could do a minimal effort of examining the problem yourself. Your bootmessages would show you that the disk where the root filesystem was expected to be on simply hasn't been found.) Finally: "0:wd(2,a)/kernel" is the boot string. ``man nextboot'' to see how to make the change permanent. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
