(The last rebuild was Jan 11). NOW, /boot/loader cannot mount my root partition. Luckily, boot2 can still load the new kernel properly. Here is the pertinent info: * No IDE drives, BUT 1 ATAPI CD-ROM on second IDE channel. Booting kernel reports no wdc0; cd-rom found on wdc1. * SCSI controller (ncr0) with two SCSI disks at ID 2, and ID 3 * FreeBSD on ID 2; one slice only (s1), a is root, b is swap, e is usr * ID 3 is /usr/junk The boot/boot2 goes OK (reports 0:da(0,a)/boot/loader) and brings up the loader OK. The currdev is disk1s1a. /boot/loader seems to boot the kernel OK. /boot/boot.conf is empty. kernel initializes and gets to the SCSI delay message, then panics: Panic message is: "error 6: panic : cannount mount root (2)" Can anyone shed some light on this for me ?? The previous boot/loader (Jan 11) booted this configuration fine!! To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
