>Organization:
Atlantis
>Environment:
FreeBSD  8.0-STABLE-201001 FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE-201001 #0: Mon Feb  8 20:44:06 YEKT 2010      root@:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/ALEX_USB   i386
>Description:
I can not boot installed on the usb hdd (da0) system. An attempt to mount the root system is to define the system usb hdd:

Manual root filesystem specification:
  <fstype>:<device>  Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
                       eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a
                       eg. cd9660:/dev/acd0
                       This is equivalent to: mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /

  ?                  List valid disk boot devices
  <empty line>       Abort manual input

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
edit /usr/src/sys/kern/vfs_mount.c

in 1655 line:

....
options = NULL;

+ pause("usbwait", hz * 10);

root_mount_prepare();

Add a pause of 10 seconds to mount the root filesystem during this time usb hdd will have time to define the system. Then recompile the kernel.
