If you want to boot from a different disk device, after changing the order of disks, or whatever, it's wise to do the following: 1. At the boot loader prompt, when you're prompted to press Enter to boot the default kernel, or any key to enter the loader prompt, press the "any" key :) 2. At the loader prompt, use the following command to change the device where the kernel will expect it's root disk to be on. # Set the root device to wd0s? boot> set root_device=0 Then enter 'boot -s' to enter single mode. 3. Remount as read-write the / filesystem. 4. Edit /etc/fstab to reflect the changes to disk order, etc. 5. Exit the single mode shell, forcing /sbin/init to enter multiuser mode with the new settings. This is what I usually do, correct me someone if I'm wrong :) -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > For my public PGP key: finger keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr PGP fingerprint, phone and address in the headers of this message.
