I have a motherboard with two onboard Promise ATA66 controllers. The hard
drive is a Seagate ST380021A, connected as the master on the first Promise
controller, referenced as ad4. I have attempted to do a clean install,
creating one FreeBSD slice on the entire disk. I set the slice bootable
and I install a Standard MBR on it. After this I do a full install of 4.7,
do the post-install configuration, but when the machine reboots I get
prompted to mount the root. For some reason, the machine is attempting to
mount the root from ad0s1a instead of ad4s1a. At the mountroot prompt I do
enter:
mountroot> ufs:/dev/ad4s1a
and the machine continues booting without problem. Here is the dmesg output:
atapci1: <Promise ATA66 controller> port

Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad4s1a
There is only the Seagate hard drive in the computer, no others. I don't
know why it's looking for anything on ad0. There are the correct devices
listed in /dev :
/dev/ad4
/dev/ad4s1
/dev/ad4s1a
/dev/ad4s1b
/dev/ad4s1c
/dev/ad4s1d
/dev/ad4s1e
/dev/ad4s1f
/dev/ad4s1g
/dev/ad4s1h
and /etc/fstab references all the right devices:
# See the fstab(5) manual page for important information on automatic mounts
# of network filesystems before modifying this file.
#
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/ad4s1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ad4s1a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/ad4s1e /boot ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad4s1h /home ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad4s1g /tmp ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad4s1d /usr ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad4s1f /var ufs rw 2 2
/dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
In case it helps, here is how I labeled and sized the filesystems (listed
in order of creation during the install):
/boot 50M
/ 1500M
swap 1024M
/var 5000M
/tmp 1000M
/home 5000M
/usr 60000M
Any information would be appreciated.
