Subject: boot hangs at "mounting root from UFS:" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG My PC hangs and stops at: "mounting root from UFS:/dev/ad0s4a" I am running FreeBSD4.4. Recently I installed another OS and that process rearraged my slices. So FreeBSD now resides at ad0s4 instead of ad0s3. To accomodate this change, I used the fixit.flp to edit '/etc/fstab' and added the appropriate devices (ad0s4a, ad0s4b,etc...) to /dev using MAKEDEV. I used 'disklabel -e /dev/ad0s4' and everything looked OK and did a 'disklabel -B /dev/ad0s4'. I am able to manually mount the partitions (ad0s4a,ad0s4f) so I know they are still there. What do I need to do now? Note: Please "CC:" a copy of your reply to me at wilby98@yahoo.com . Thank you, Bill __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
