However, there is no device to remount root to rw (/dev/wd0a does not work, /dev/wd0s1a is not present) This is only a small thing, but since nowadays the boot device on IDE depends on the hardware (ad0 or ad4), this might be a problem for many people >How-To-Repeat: delete fstab, reboot :-) >Fix: Either include /dev/wd0s1a by default or make the kernel mount using the ad driver if fstab is present >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
