It's process 0 (swapper). ffs_vget+0x27 ufs_root+0x1c xxx_vfs_root_fdtab+0x1f (yup, that's the name) main+0x9a begin+0x4a >>>> This doesn't seem to be problem, though: it doesn't work either way. >>>> The old kernel only works with wd0a, and the new kernel doesn't work >>>> with either fstab entry. >>> >>> You should receive a "changing root device to ..." message after your >>> device probes with the new kernel. >> >> That's where it dies. > > Before or after the message?

I'm no longer so sure that it's the one you're looking for. When I rebooted with the old kernel, ISTR that it was different. > What is the root device that it's nominating? As I said, /dev/wd0s2a. My notes say "changing to /dev/wd0s2a", but those were things which made sense to me at the time.
