I'm kind of burning in hell right now. I'm installing CURRENT onto a system with a 3940 controller that has the AIC-7895 chip. OK fine. I found the boot floppy that has the CAM stuff in it at http://www.freebsd.org/~abial/cam-boot/ and did my install thing, copied the CAM aware kernel and chflag'd schg. Now the system comes up and sees the 3940 busses as ahc0 and ahc1, as I expected but it can't mount root. It's sees the disks and barfs, something like this: da0: 4095Mb (normal looking disk recognition stuff) error 6: panic: cannot mount root If I floppy boot and fsck it, there's no complaints. I can mount it when I'm floppy booted. What horrible step did I omit when I did this installation? -Ian (installs are usually soooo easy!) Kallen -- I have an answering machine in my car.
