Hi old friends! :-) I have a question. I installed FBSD 3.1 on one of my IDE hard disks. When I did that the hard disk was set as a master on a secondary IDE controller, which gave it a name of wd2 appropriately enough. Now I need to move this disk onto the primary controller as a slave disk which should give it the id of wd1. After I move the disk and set it up in the BIOS I try to boot from it. FBSD finds it just fine but then gives me the old panic: cannot mount root (2) setting root_disk_unit=1 does not work either because currdev and loaddev are still set to disk2s1a, and I'm not able to change the value of loaddev. Changing the value or currdev disorients the loader and it complains about not being able to find the kernel. Ideas, thoughts? Rudy P.S. please CC me on the suggestions as I'm not currently on the list. Thank you.
