Hi, I need some help here:
I had two machines running on a April version of -current that I upgraded
recently to the lastest iteration. After installing and rebooting
however, the serial console settings reverted to 9600 for the kernel. "No
big deal," I thought, and I reapplied the bootstrap code with bsdlabel -B.
The command I ran was 'bsdlabel -B /dev/ad6s1', and when I rebooted the
serial speed setting was the correct one compiled into the bootstrap.
However I was presented with:
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad6s1a
Manual root filesystem specification:
<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
eg. ufs:da0s1a
? List valid disk boot devices
<empty line> Abort manual input
mountroot>
Eventually I found 'ufs:ad6' was able to mount as root, but now I had no
access to the swap partition which used to be on ad6s1b.
Now the only /dev entry is /dev/ad6.
So, two questions:
- where the heck did the partition info/devices on s1a and s1b go?
- how do I fix it? Some 'glabel' magic?
Additional info:
$ bsdlabel /dev/ad6
# /dev/ad6:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 152205312 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552
b: 4096176 152205312 swap
c: 156301488 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't
edit
[root@pogo-4 ~]# diskinfo /dev/ad6
/dev/ad6 512 80026361856 156301488 155061 16 63
