Okay, I'm confused, and I violated the dictum that one should never cvsup
when confused by the e-mail traffic on stable. I'm running on kernel.old as
I type, and I need to find out how to do better. I cvsupped everything this
morning, adjusted etc files as indicated, made world, and made a new kernel.
Now, every time I boot the new kernel, once it tries to mount everything from
/etc/fstab it complains that the mounted root doesn't match. Well,
1. I don't need no steenkin' slices. Wd0 is "dangerously dedicated".
2. My kernel is built with "root on wd0a"
3. I boot from the default, 0:wd(0,a).
4. /etc/fstab mounts /dev/wd0a as /.
5. /dev/wd0a is the result of a "mknod /dev/wd0a b 0 0".
6. Running disklabel wd0 produces:
# /dev/rwd0c:
type: ESDI
disk: wd1s1
label:

bytes/sector: 512

f: 2478352 344048 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 21*-
175*)
The only strange thing here is that disklabel got the disk's identity
wrong.
So, as a "dangerously dedicated" kind of guy, what do I need to do in the
brave new world of "Slices uber ales?"
