I have acquired some 3 old-ish HP Netserver LH4r. They come with built-in RAID adapters. I have installed FreeBSD (well, that is the only one I could anyway), but I am hitting a snag: When I boot up the box, it refuses to automount the root fs, then takes me to "Manual Root File System specification" option. When I specify ufs:/dev/amrd0s1a then the box boots. What I don't understand is why it is refusing to obey the same thing in fstab.. My /etc/fstab contains the correct entries - /dev/amrd0s1{a|e|f} and I have even compiled a kernel with support for "amr". I have three such boxes (God forbid if they all refuse to run FreeBSD). Here is a dmesg output of what I am going through: Copyright (c) 1992-2004 The FreeBSD Project.
