Sorry- maybe more of an edge case. It really has to do with 'ad' support seemingly vanishing from the alpha. Or, rather, it's hard to say exactly what has happened: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/rad0a no such device 'rad' setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 But then, there's an older system on da0: Mounting root from ufs:da0a WARNING: clock gained 14 days -- CHECK AND RESET THE DATE! swapon: adding /dev/da0b as swap device which makes it less of a bad bad but still very very annoying. It's hard to find out what's going on because even though there is some vague attempts to stop the loader (whereupon you get a phony 'ok' prompt), no passing of variables set there occurs (so no 'bootverbose'). So, it's conceivable that this is just edge case alpha breakage. With < 2 weeks to feature freeze for 4.0 it is very hard for some of us who attempt to make sure things we deliver actually work on both platforms if the second platform is broken. I'm plenty pissed off, but, c'est la vie... -matt On Thu, 2 Dec 1999, Matthew Jacob wrote: > > Well, I am truly f*cked now.
