Maybe the OS would have to be fooled with >phoney disk number.............Al, That=B4s because your disk partition, where FBSD is expected to boot from,= =20 has changed from ad0s?? to ad1s??. You should be able to manually change=20 this, when your boot process stops. Anyone out there, who knows the place this is hard coded, to change it=20 permanently?
