I plugged in a USB hard drive which was /dev/da1. bsdinstall does not label any partitions and generates /etc/fstab that assumes that the root is on the drive it was on during install. This works reasonably well for non-removable drives, but that USB drive is created as da1 when I boot. I simply managed not to see it was trying to boot /dev/da1p2 when I booted the system. I booted my 10.1-BETA1 system and edited /etc/fstab and it did fine... for a while. I was doing a "portsnap extract" and, late in extracting devel, the system panicked in vfs. I did not get a dump or any information from the crash. Sorry. After I booted my 10.1-BETA1 system, I had to do a full fsck and, after that I had a totally empty usr, so I guess I need to try again from scratch. :-( If it happens again, I'll try hard to get more information. For tonight, I'm calling it quits and I'll start over tomorrow. -- Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer, Retired E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 > > Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer, Retired > > E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com > > PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 > > > > On Fri, Jul 17, 2015 at 7:23 PM, Kevin Oberman <rkoberman@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > > > On Fri, Jul 17, 2015 at 5:59 PM, Glen Barber <gjb@freebsd.org> wrote: > > > > > >> On Sat, Jul 18, 2015 at 12:59:00AM +0000, Glen Barber wrote: > > >> > On Fri, Jul 17, 2015 at 05:52:58PM -0700, Kevin Oberman wrote: > > >> > > I just tried to install HEAD from the July 16 snapshot. > Installation > > >> went > > >> > > fine using all defaults.
