I installed 4.0-RELEASE on a dual pII 333 Dell box with 3 scsi drives. 1 on motherboard adaptec scsi controller carrying 2 9GB drives and cdrom and a pci adaptec 2940 carrying a 4GB drive and a dat drive. The OS is on the 4GB drive and has been sliced up into /, /usr, /etc, /var. Install seems to have gone ok but when I exit out of the /stand/sysinstall the machine reboots, when it comes back up the only file system mounted is /. I have to manually mount the other file systems then everything seems ok. Everything looks good in /etc/fstab and after i mount mount /etc and run mount -a all my filesystems get mounted. I've reformatted the drives and re-installed 3 times this week (1x from cdrom and 2x from ftp). I thought that this may have been a disk issue. What file tells the kernel to mount the other filesystems? What files should I start looking at? The /boot/defualts/loader.conf knows to look at the / partition for a kernel, .... what happens next? On a Side note: I made a successful install on a similar dell pII box yesterday using the same kern.flp and mfsroot.flp that i used with the broken box. That machine is up and running very smoothly.
