Er, yes (now why didn't I think of that??). Loader is now working, but the system now does not boot :-) It looks like loader is mounting wd0s3a as / as opposed to ad0s3a, and consequently the boot fails with a "Specified device does not match mounted device" error when it goes through fstab (which of course refers to ad0s3a). Last I remember, use of wd* was still supported but deprecated so I guess I could change my fstab, but I don't really want to do that. I've tried and failed to get it to mount / as it should be, but it's not playing ball. I know this is beginning to turn into the nightmare support call from hell, but.. any ideas? :-) Many thanks, Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
