-----Forwarded message from pac@bvemx.ppco.com----- >Number: 4068 >Category: kern >Synopsis: 'panic: cant mount root' while booting new installation from disk 2. -----End of forwarded message----- Pilot error, as we all know. But that's now the third or fourth bug report of someone who's not intelligent enough to read the documentation. Any suggestions on how to: . make the wdc driver auto-assign wd units in ascending order as the disks have been found, or . either detect the typical case of only wd0 and wd2 existing very early, and perhaps change the root dev to wd2 (instead of wd1), . or at least detect the case post-mortem, and hint to the correct usage in a printf() right before the panic? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
