Subject: Booting from da0s1e
Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG

Hello,

I am trying to get a hard disk to boot from / mounted on da0s1e, rather than
the typical da0s1a.  I tried putting the line:
0:da(0,e)/kernel

in /boot.config, but that did nothing.

I recompiled the kernel, changing 

config          kernel  root on da0

to 

config          kernel  root on da0s1e

but nothing changed.  It still uses 0:da(0,a)/kernel as default.

Is there something very obvious that I'm missing?  

-Todd
