Hello. I should say first that I've tried searching for an answer to my problem, with no success. I am attempting to create a bootable CD with a live FreeBSD system on it, for the purposes of installing a ghost image on a local hard drive, retreived from a remote share (I'm using samba, if it matters), and make that image bootable. I have succesfully created the CD, partitioned the hard drive using the process described in the bsdlabel manpage, and I have succesfully installed a label on ad0s1, to get ad0s1a-f the size I wish them to be. I have also succesfully performed newfs on each of them, and extracted the images (in the form of a tgz) to each slice. My problem is this: when the machine boots, it gets to the stage: Mounting root from "ufs:ad0s1a" and it freezes. Can anyone offer some insight as to why this might be happening? If more information is needed, I can certainly provide it, though I have included everything I see as relevant. Thanks! William
