There appears to be an off by one error that is difficult to fix. Try changing your /etc/fstab entry for the root partition to /dev/sd0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 and all should work fine. Or better yet reboot with the new kernel and try 'mount /dev/sd0s1a /' first. :) Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
