There is a typo in the code responsible for this message; you can
safely ignore it as you surmised. It'll be fixed shortly.
I had to change my root from /dev/wd0a to /dev/wd0sNa as well. (In my
case, N = 2 because of some bizarre things I'm doing with NT.) I have
some other related things to observe that may not be specific to this
update.
o I have an odd configuration with just one 1.9GB /. Don't ask -- NT is
involved, and it was what I used to create the partition table.
o I seem to have to fsck every time I boot now! Perhaps all the
"-c" boots are doing that to me...
I, too survived the "broken window" yesterday to cvsup twice, but then
when I got it all together, I tried to create a debugging kernel, and
I suddenly got hit with the 1023-cylinder limit from
/usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot/disk.c: line 223.
o I adventurously modified this to the limit which my bios accepts,
and then booted again. Is that OK?
o I ran into problems with the BOUNCE_BUFFERS option at that point.
o I didn't know what to do, so I gave up and gladly compiled and booted
from a normal kernel, which is working fine.
Suggestions on how to deal with the error I got with my bounce buffers?
By the way, I now have my vibra16 (Soundblaster 16 PnP) working very
well with Luigi Rizzo's bits. FreeBSD is rocking -- literally! I'll
stick a web page up on how I did it if anyone is interested.
Thanks,
Steve
