I saw some reports on problems when booting from a device that wouldn't become the root-device -- resulting in "root device doesn't match mounted device" when remounting "/". I ask because I am using OS/2 bootloader (installed on wd0) to boot FreeBSD from da0, and I ran into the abovementioned problem. ( - could be because I haven't configured wd-support in my kernel (only M$-stuff there anyway :), but I'd like that to work as well.) /Niels Chr. -- Niels Christian Bank-Pedersen, NCB1-RIPE.
