Really need help... Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Greetings, I have learned a very valuable lesson. No matter how many time I have made world, I shouldn't do it while I'm tired. Last night I synced my tree and made world. I rebooted, and was going to remake my kernel after the boot. That became an impossibility. After the the message "Waiting 15 seconds fopr SCSI devices to settle", and before the listing of my SCSI devices is this ominous message: ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvperror 6: panic: cannot mount root (2) At the end of the SCSI device listing, the system starts a reboot. Any help in either understanding what happened or getting the box back online appreciated! -ck To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
