I could install 4.2-stable without a problem, but after installation at boot up I got the message like, Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a ad0s1: type 0xa5 start 62, end = 333143, size 333081 : OK ad0: cannot find label (no disk label) ad0s1: cannot find label (no disk label) Root mount failed: 22 Manual root filesystem specification: : With the wd driver and changes in /etc/fstab, I could boot with geometry transration. I also heard that some guy had same kind of trouble with Digital Hinote. He didn't try wd driver. Any suggestion to use ad driver ? // Noriaki Mitsunaga // To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
