Reinstall your boot blocks. Thanks for pointers, I will run gpart to reinstall bootcode on my SD card. > Is there any particular reason you are upgrading from a production > release to a development branch of the OS? I've read that FreeBSD kernel supports 3D acceleration in ATI R7xx chipset and as I own motherboard with HD3300 built-in I thought that I would give it a try. I upgraded to see if there is any progress with =C2=BFzfs? I don't really know if it's zfs related, but at certain load, my system crashes, and reboots. It happens only when using bonnie++ to benchmark I/O. And I'm a little bit to lazy to prepare my system for coredumps - I don't have swap slice for crashdumps, because I wanted to simplify adding drives to my raidz1 configuration. Could anyone tell me what's needed, besides having swap to produce good crashdump? At first I didn't knew that I am upgrading to bleeding edge/developer branch of FreeBSD. I'll come straight out with it, 8.0-STABLE sounds more stable than 8.0-RELEASE-p2, which I was running before upgrade ;) I'm a little confused with FreeBSD release cycle at first I compared it with Debian release cycle, because I'm most familiar to it, and I used it a lot before using FreeBSD. Debian development is more one-dimensional - unstable/testing/stable/oldstable whereas FreeBSD has two stable branches - 8.0 and 7.2 which are actively developed. But still I am confused with FreeBSD naming and it's relation with tags which are used in standard-supfile. We have something like this: 9.0-CURRENT -> tag=3D. 8.0-STABLE -> tag=3DRELENG_8 8.0-RELEASE-p2 -> tag=3DRELENG_8_0 ? (btw what does p2 mean?) If someone patient could explain it to me I'd be grateful.
