Hi all, I'm trying to replace the motherboard in my FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE server for a different one. The old board has on-board Adaptec AIC-7896N SCSI, the new one has on-board Symbios Ultra3 SCSI, on bootup I get the following error - Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0s0a setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Rootmount failed:6 Is there any way I can boot the drive on this new interface? I've searched the archives & found a similar problem in which the solution was to use dump to create a backup & do a fresh install of FreeBSD on the new system before restoring the backup. If I have to take this route I might as well upgrade to 5.3, but I understand this uses a different filesystem to 4.11, so would this give problems with a restore from a 4.11 dump? Thanks for all replies
