Subject:   Telling FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE which partition is root
Message-ID:  <20000516105009.A86268@irrelevant.org>

Hi, I've recently installed 4.0-RELEASE on my PC on ad3 to be booted
via BootMagic, this worked fine, but since cvsuping to 4.0-STABLE
yesterday, doing a make world and making a new kernel, the kernel now
doesn't seem to know that it's meant to be mounting the kernel from ad3.
As there is no FreeBSD partition on ad0 it halts during boot, and only
works properly once I've entered ufs:ad3a as the root partition.

Is there any way of forcing the kernel to use ad3a as the root partition?

Thanks.
