Machines seem to boot just fine, but dmesg reports the following: ... npx0 flags 0x1 on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface changing root device to wd0s2a IP packet filtering initialized, divert disabled, logging disabled ... Whereas mount reports: thithle:~> mount /dev/wd0s1a on / (local) /dev/wd0s1f on /usr (local) /dev/wd0s1e on /var (local) procfs on /proc (local) mfs:23 on /tmp (asynchronous, local) pr-fledge:/home on /home (nosuid) pr-fledge:/homea on /homea (nosuid) pr-fledge:/homeb on /homeb (nosuid) pr-fledge:/homec on /homec (nosuid) pr-chiron:/exports on /etc/auth/exports (nosuid) thithle:~> Apparently they disagree about what the root partition is. Since the machine works fine, I'm guessing it's an off-by-1 error in the kernel root device reporting, but that is misleading as I was about to change the fstab entry to match whatever the kernel felt was right from dmesg :). This appears to be a bug -- of course, I could be misinterpretting. :) Robert N Watson Carnegie Mellon University http://www.cmu.edu/ SafePort Network Services http://www.safeport.com/ robert@fledge.watson.org http://www.watson.org/~robert/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
