Hello, I have a problem after adding a firewire hard disk to my system. I did format and label the drive and the drive works without any problem. After a reboot I am getting the following message after the firewire was detected: ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp The firewire disk is /dev/da1 and my root (/) partition is /dev/da0s1a. After getting the above error message I am getting a boot prompt which allows me to manually specify an appropriate device. If typing ? to get a list of available devices, /dev/da0s1a is missing. I guess the solution to is problem is pretty trivial, but at the time I am to blind to see the solution. Any hints on how to solve this issue would be appreciated. -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen / With kind regards Daniel S. Haischt Wan't a complete signature???
