Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Currently, my FBSD drive is the second hard drive on an IDE bus. I would like to remove the first drive which would make the FBSD one the first (and only) drive on the ide bus. I realize that i will need to change all the "wd1..."'s to "wd0..." in /etc/fstab, and I thought I would have to change the "config kernel root on" line in the kernel, however it already read wd0. When I tried just changing the /etc/fstab file, the machine found the kernel, but paniced because it couldn't mount root. BTW, I did change the drive jumpers too. What am I missing? Thanks, Greg. ______________________________________________________________________________ Greg Hormann | | | ghormann@indiana.edu | | | http://php.indiana.edu/~ghormann/home.html |. \____/. ______________________________________________________________________________
