Howdy. I am in the process of source upgrading my machine from
3.4-STABLE to 4.0-RELEASE. I have been doing my level best to
follow the directions, but frankly there are a ton of different
sets of directions out there. The directions that come with
the 4.0-RELEASE tag are different from those that come with
4.0-STABLE, and about 4 different people have sent me a variety
of different variations of those by email. I'm tryin' here.
Basically I've done this:
# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld
# cd sbin/mknod
# make install
# cd sys/modules
# make (which fails:)
...
===> ccd
make: don't know how to make
/usr/src/sys/modules/ccd/../../kern/vnode_if.sh. Stop
*** Error code 2
Since the 4.0-RELEASE /usr/src/UPDATING file doesn't tell me to
do the sys/modules make install, I figure I'll just keep going.
I figure that I might see some failures when I boot into multi-user
later on, but I can deal with that.
# make installkernel
(mv /MY-KERNEL /kernel, etc)
Now I am supposed to rebuild my /dev entries so I do this (following
the instructions:)
# cp /usr/src/etc/MAKEDEV /dev
# cd /dev
# MAKEDEV ad0
# MAKEDEV ad0s1a; MAKEDEV ad0s2a; ... MAKEDEV ad0s7a
# MAKEDEV ad1
# MAKEDEV ad1s1a; MAKEDEV ad1s2a; ... MAKEDEV ad1s7a
Now I figure that my devices are in order so:
# reboot
Here's what happens:
-------------------------------

<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a

<empty line> Abort manual input

-------------------------------
So now what do I do? I've tried "ufs:/dev/ad0s1a", "ufs:ad0s1a", "ufs:ad0a"
and
a bunch of other variations, but it always replies:
-----------------
panic: Root mount failed, startup aborted.
syncing disks...
-----------------
I can't seem to get it to recognize the new ad devices. Nor can I get it
to use the old wd devices. What am I missing here? Argh, this is
frustrating!
Thanks,
