I've updated source with RELENG=4_9 in my supfile, and have build a new kernel using the GENERIC config file. The box is a Compaq Proliant 1600 with two embedded wide-ultra SCSI controllers, detected by 4.6 as sym0 and sym1. There is only one disk, it's on the first controller, so when booting 4.6, I get this: (sym0 and sym1 detected) Waiting 5 seconds for SCSI devices to settle Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0s2a da0 at sym0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 15, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 4094MB (8386000 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 522C) Trying to boot with the GENERIC kernel results in the following: (sym0 and sym1 detected same as with 4.6) Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0s2a no such device 'da' setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 mountroot> At the mountroot> prompt, I hit ? and get: Possibly valid devices for 'ufs' root: console, ctty, mem, pts, ptc, log, fd, sc, FD, bpf, sio, tun, pci, md, xpt, kbd, acd, asr, ata, iir, MFS I've search this list's archives, and have gotten some hints/ideas, but none that get me a shiny new FreeBSD 4.9 system.
