I note you're having problems with the MFS root stuff printing "mfs_mountroot: can't find rootvp" and the root mount failing. This seems to be related to the changes in rev 1.167 of kern/vfs_subr.c which is now returning ENXIO for MFS because MFS doesn't have a block major number. I'm hoping that Bruce will have an answer for this; perhaps mfs_mount shouldn't be trying to convert a bdev into a vp for its mount, or bdevvp needs to be more lenient in some cases. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
