Hi all!

Something curious happened today after
cvsuping/buildworld/install/installnewkernel. It's the second time I update src
after 3.0-stable.

When I rebooted the system stopped with " /dev/da0s1a on /: Specified device
does no match mounted device
Filesystem mount failed, startup aborted"

After searching for some time in the freebsd.org mailing lists search,
I bumped into an email that referred the fact that when not using the
slice description part (i.e. da0a) mount would try to mount the first FreeBSD
slice. Well it worked. Had to change /etc/fstab to mount /dev/da0a on / so boot
process could go smoothly, without manual intervention.

Is this a proper procedure ? Is it ok to /dev/da0a on / ?
What happenned ? Why doesn't it mount with the old /dev/da0s1a ?
Anything wrong with today's src ?

Thank you in advance : )

Joao Pedras
