Hi

I have a FreeBSD installation that can boot from cdrom. After my last
cvsup (april 23 2002) I wanted to update the ISO image of this cdrom by
rebuilding kernel and world.

After burning this new ISO image to cd and testing, I found that it
failed to mount cd9660:acd0c. Manually typing cd9660:acd0 (without the
"c") at the mountroot prompt did work, so I changed

options         ROOTDEVNAME=\"cd9660:acd0c\"

to

options         ROOTDEVNAME=\"cd9660:acd0\"

in de kernel configuration file. Problem solved, but I am curious as to
why this syntax has changed and if it was documented somewhere.

greetings
Ruben de Groot
