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. -- Simon Dick simond@irrelevant.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
