All is fine on a cold boot - i.e. all disks are using ad0 as per fstab but if I reboot (i.e. warm) then '/' gets mounted on wd0s2a rather than ad0s2a (and top won't run because of it - nlist errors). I re-wrote the disklabel which has wd to ad as one guess # /dev/ad0c: type: ESDI disk: ad0s2 installworld updated the /boot files (and of course all is well on a hard boot). There is another partition with a minimal Linux distro on it and I use the lilo boot manager (which speaks hda, etc). Any ideas where the vestigal wd0 comes from? Can I still boot Linux as the non-default if I use a different boot manager? Rarely use Linux but sometimes I need to, could use a boot floppy I suppose.
