Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This happened to me yesterday, and, haha, I didn't notice until I started to see RSA stuff not working: da0: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 4340MB (8888924 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 553C) Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0a no such device 'ad' setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 Mounting root from ufs:da0a da0: invalid primary partition table: no magic WARNING: clock lost 358 days -- CHECK AND RESET THE DATE! My FreeBSD-alpha PC164 lost it's IDE disk for 4.2 somehow- which I'd just loaded the 4.2 kernel from- so it decided to run off of da0 instead, which was -current. Truly a startling turn of events. Shouldn't one stop and ask if the root one asked for isn't available? -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
